Why Is My Machine Slowing Down?

Chief Problem Solver from Your Computer Guy

A computer running Windows can slow down for many reasons. Viruses, spyware, software updates, hardware issues, and more can lead to performance drops.
Slow machines represent one of the largest sources of work for us.

Perhaps when you purchased your computer, it ran like a champ and quickly did everything you needed. Now … well, not so much. Perhaps it takes forever to boot. Or starting applications is slower than molasses. Or maybe the machine acts sluggish when you try to use it for just about anything.
