I've had my PC for about a year, and it's really starting to slow down. Just yesterday, I struggled to watch YouTube, and now it's almost impossible. I'm also experiencing Wi-Fi issues, as I'm only getting two bars, while everyone else in my house has a better connection. This slowdown started after I updated my graphics drivers, but I don't think that's the issue since it worked fine afterward. I'm not that tech-savvy, though. I'm willing to wipe everything and start fresh, but I'd like to try fixing it first if possible.

Consider restoring your computer to factory settings. This will wipe anything harmful and give you a clean start. But if you have important files, be cautious, as you might lose everything.
Check your Task Manager to see if any of your CPU, Memory, Disk, or Network stats are close to 100%. This can help identify which processes are hogging resources. You can sort them by activity to see what's going on.
First, try running a diagnostic tool like Spec-ify. It can give us insights into your PC model and any potential problems. Here's the link to check it out: [spec-ify.com](https://spec-ify.com). Let me know the results!
If your Wi-Fi is only weak on your PC, it could be your wireless card failing. These can be swapped out easily and don’t cost much. Just a heads up!
Just to clarify, when you say it's slowing down, do you mean your overall system is lagging, or is it just web speeds? Because if your CPU and memory are okay, we might need to look at network issues if you're facing lag while gaming.
