 Slow PC - what checks do I do? - Bobby
My laptop running Win 10 has suddenly started going slow in the last few days. Takes ages to start up (till all the icons are on the desktop) and then when you do select a program, it takes ages to load.

I really notice this when I did an itunes backup of my phone - usually takes a few minutes but I ended up giving up it was taking so long.

Have ran a windows defender full check but what other tests can I run to establish what issues are causing it?

I am not too sure if the fan is running on it as its quiet but I am not sure if it is always quiet?

Any advice would be appreciated!
