if you are stumped at step 6 in post #9, ignore it and move on.
it’ll be nice to have done some tweaking with services, but not 100% mandatory.

a good way to see if services, scheduled tasks, background processes etc are causing your PC to run slow is to just start the PC into Safe Mode.
in Safe Mode a lot (almost all) services, tasks etc are not started, just the core essential stuff needed to run (and debug) Windows.

if the unit still runs slow in Safe Mode, it tends to point to lack of maintenance (like cleanup and defrag, or low space) or a hardware issue, like a failing drive.

if it runs ‘normally’ (and that’s a very subjective state to define) in Safe Mode, than the betting money is on some extra activity running in normal mode that wasn’t started in Safe Mode.

I always find starting Word a good benchmark in determining PC speed.
start the PC, let it settle down, say 1 minute, then start Word.
on a good PC, it’ll start in about 3secs, with a SSD in less than 1sec, on a ‘normal’ PC about 5-8secs, if it takes more than 10, than yes your PC is slow.

@toree in post number 9 Evan requested you provide some further information, can you post it please?

Could you please follow this procedure as per Evan Omo’s request. Part 16, copied below

1. Please download Autoruns. After you download the zipped folder on your desktop, right click the zipped folder and click Extract All. After the folder has been extracted open the regular folder. Run the autoruns.exe program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator. When you open the program click the Logon Tab and remove any items that you do not need running on startup. Then post a screenshot of all the startup entries on the Logon Tab in your next reply. Your screenshot should look like the following image below.

Should you have any difficulty following the above please let us know.

If you are unsure about which Windows Services you can disable safely, then just move onto the next step. Disabling Windows Services that are not needed on your system will speed up performance on your system but if you don’t feel comfortable following that guideline then you can skip the step.

In Autrouns on the Logon Tab uncheck all the items on that tab and then reboot the computer. See if the computer is still slow after you restart the machine.

I’m still waiting to see if booting the PC into Safe Mode (hit F8 like a crazy person while the PC starts) shows any improvement in speed.
to me, this will verify if it is just background Windows process and programs running in ‘normal mode’ that are slowing you down, or if the PC ingeneral has greater issues, like the hot battery and the high temp processor.

this want looks better..quiet fast
Translation: Safe mode: this “want” means one looks better…“quiet” means quite fast.
