Hi everyone,
My Windows 11 laptop has gradually become slower over the past few months. Startup takes longer, and sometimes even opening File Explorer or a browser feels sluggish. I’ve already removed some unused programs and checked that I have plenty of free storage.
What would you recommend checking first to figure out what is causing the slowdown? I’d prefer to troubleshoot it myself before doing a clean Windows installation.
