Hey everyone, my PC has just started acting really slow out of nowhere. My loading times increased by a factor of 10, and my download speeds plummeted from 20-35 Mbps down to only 250 Kbps. It doesn't seem like there's a resource issue, as everything looks normal on that front. I haven't downloaded anything new lately, so I'm pretty sure it's not a virus. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Have you tried rebooting your PC? Sometimes a simple restart can resolve hidden issues. Also, check if there are any pending Windows updates that need to be installed. Occasionally, those can impact performance as well.
It sounds like it could be a storage issue, especially if you notice slow loading times and download issues. Check your drive’s SMART status to see if there's any indication of problems. Also, make sure there’s enough free space on your SSD because low available storage can significantly affect performance.
If your internet is acting up, don't forget to power cycle your modem and router. That’s a common fix when you see slow internet speeds. It's good that you restarted your PC already, but rebooting your network equipment might help.
