some specs on your laptop would help; age, ram, cpu, OS, drives etc?
slow how; crunching numbers, internet, opening programs, starting up, etc?
is the lack of speed a recent thing? if so, any hardware or software changes?
what other maintenance do you run apart from CC?
what OS tweaks have you tried to improve speed; pagefile resize and relocation, disable startup items, disable services, etc?
but generally you’d be looking at areas like adding more memory, upgrading to a SSD or complete OS reload.
personally, with each of those areas being relatively cheap in ther own right, I’d be doing all of them.Comment

@toreee as you have not responded to the earlier request for some specs on your machine would you please follow the guide below and post the link generated by Speccy. Please do not edit the Speccy report as there is no information contained which can identify you or your equipment.
Please go HERE and download the portable version of Speccy. Save it to somewhere you can find, locate the file and as it comes as a Zip file use your favorite unzip application to decompress it. Open the newly created folder and double left click Speccy.exe if you have a 32 bit system or Speccy64.exe if yours is 64bit. If you are not sure what your system is click HERE.

Speccy will open and after a short wait will display a summary of your system specs.

A dialogue box will ask you to confirm, select yes.

Another dialogue box will open

[li]Click Copy to Clipboard.[/li][li]Then click Close.[/li][/ol]

Now that your link has been copied please paste it into your next post. It should look something like the example below
BTW: once you have finished with speccy and no longer want it removing it is easy because it is a portable app with no install. Simply delete the downloaded file and folder you created when you decompressed it. Gone:thumbsup:Comment

a few things that caught my attention…
the motherboard temp of 79 degrees is alarming.
to keep itself from getting any hotter, the system may be throttling back the processor to reduce the heat but it turn, that will slow it all down.
which brings up the next point, your CPU, it’s a Pentium running at 2GHz, so it’s not a rocket to begin with.
and lastly, Wise Care 365 is running at startup, if you paid for it, that’s an overhead you’ll have to live with, but if it was free, I would at least remove it from the startup list of programs and maybe even consider removing it altogether (I’ve no first hand experience with that one to say whether it’s good or bad)Comment
