My computer is running slow. What should I do?

If your computer is running slow, try the following suggestions:

1. Make sure your Windows operating system and PC device drivers are up to date.
2. Restart your computer. This will help with clearing temporary files and processes from memory that may have been caused by too many open internet browsers, hard drive file transfers and running multiple resource intensive applications at the same time.
3. Use Task Manager on Windows  (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to identify processes or applications that are consuming excessive CPU and memory.
4. If your local drive storage space is full, this also slows down your computer. Move important data files to your OneDrive cloud storage account.
