Why is my Windows 11 gaming laptop so slow after a factory reset?
Asked by

I recently factory reset my Windows 11 gaming laptop, but now it's running really slowly. Programs take about 5 seconds to open after I click on them, and games are lagging terribly. I've already tried several optimization tutorials, but they mostly cover things I've already done. I'm not super tech-savvy, so I'd appreciate a simple explanation of why this is happening. Thanks!

Make sure you've updated all the drivers directly from the manufacturer's website. Missing drivers can cause performance issues after a reset.

Instead of using the factory reset, try reinstalling Windows using a USB drive. This method can help ensure that everything is set up correctly from scratch.
