I'm in a bit of a jam here! My PC has slowed down significantly after I installed some software, and now my game, Lethal Company, which used to run at 150 FPS, is only hitting a maximum of 44 FPS. I'm also having issues downloading things; the download progress bar either freezes or moves at a snail's pace. Plus, whenever I try to save something from the web to a folder, my file explorer just completely freezes up. To make matters worse, I can't even update Windows because it keeps telling me to 'try later.' I've already vacuumed my computer, cleared out unnecessary files, and got rid of corrupted files, but all that did was bump my FPS to 70 maximum for Lethal Company. Any advice?

If things are still slow, you might want to consider doing a clean reinstall of Windows 11. It would wipe out any unwanted "crap" and give you a fresh start. Just be careful and back up your important files first!
Have you checked if there's anything suspicious in your anti-virus or malware program? Sometimes they can catch things that slow down your system. Maybe run a scan and see if anything pops up?
I tried downloading the installation media, but my file explorer just freezes when I do. It's so frustrating!
