Is the new laptop running slowly?
Purchased a new laptop and noticed icons lagging, alt tab freezing, etc. Initially assumed it was due to Windows updating, but after a month it continues to lag. Usually the system slows down after about 10 minutes before worsening gradually. Task manager shows no CPU, GPU, RAM, or SSD issues.
Example of lag situations:
- Hovering over icons causes a delay in the hover box appearing
- Alt tab freezes intermittently
- App switching takes longer than usual
Laptop details:
Asus Zenbook 14 Q425M
Intel Core Ultra 7 155H
Intel Arc Graphics (Driver: 32.0.101.592)
Windows 11 24H2 (Build: 26100.3194)
Fixes tried:
- sfc -scannow
- chkdsk /f /r
Additional notes:
I often have high page file usage, but my laptop now uses only about 1.5 gigabytes.
A while back there was a serious BSOD issue involving IQRL. Anyone have advice?
