The laptop becomes very sluggish once it's under stress, and it takes a long time to regain performance.
The laptop becomes very sluggish once it's under stress, and it takes a long time to regain performance.
My laptop is experiencing some unusual behavior. It works fine for basic tasks, but when you open demanding programs like Windows updates or heavy apps such as Minecraft, it slows down significantly. For instance, launching Firefox can take nearly two minutes, and YouTube homepage loading adds another three minutes. After closing the app, it often needs a reboot to return to normal speed. I've tried various fixes—BIOS updates, driver changes, checking thermal throttling, reinstalling Windows, adjusting power settings, and monitoring CPU/RAM usage—but nothing seems to resolve the problem. The issue is frustrating and seems to be related to performance under load.
