Hey everyone, this is my first time posting here. Lately, my laptop has been lagging every few minutes. I bought it for around 700€, so I really doubt the hardware is the problem. I've tried multiple solutions I found online, but nothing seems to help. The lag occurs when I'm playing games, opening PDFs for studying, or just using it for other tasks. I'm looking for some solid advice on what to do!
By the way, I have no idea how to attach photos or videos here to illustrate the issue.
Here are my PC specs:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with Radeon Graphics 2 GHz
- RAM: 16 GB
- OS: Windows 11
For what it's worth, I've tried reducing some appearance settings and turning off certain location and voice activation features, but it doesn't seem to be anything drastic.

When your laptop starts lagging, try right-clicking on the taskbar and opening Task Manager. You'll want to check what is consuming your CPU, memory, or disk I/O during the lag. That can give you an idea of what's causing the slowdown!
If you've tried everything already, that’s frustrating! But just to be sure, can you share your computer specs and the specific troubleshooting steps you've taken? It’ll help us figure out what else might be going on.
