I bought a Lenovo LOQ laptop about a year ago, equipped with an i5 and an RTX 3050. Lately, its performance has declined significantly; it takes over a minute to boot up. I'm looking for tips on how to restore its efficiency to what it was when I first got it.

You should check your startup apps in Task Manager and disable anything that you don't need. It could also be wise to run a full scan with Malwarebytes to make sure there's no malware affecting your performance. If those steps don’t help, consider resetting your graphics driver with the Win+Ctrl+Shift+B shortcut or even reinstalling Windows via a USB drive.
If you're open to it, trying out Linux could significantly speed up performance, especially on older hardware.
Make sure to install the latest updates using Lenovo Vantage. It's also a good idea to check the Task Manager and disable any unnecessary startup applications that might be slowing things down.
