Hi
I’m getting sick to death of my laptop (HP Notebook) slowing down almost to a standstill whilst the motor (or whatever you call it!) makes this high-pitched whine as if it’s doing something very important and very urgent. This can go on (as it is just now) for up to half an hour!
It’s not as if I go in for big processes (other than uploading videos) on a regular basis.
I have installed ‘What’s happening with my computer’, but the only clue I get from that is that there’s a lot of ‘chrome.exe’ activity and, sure enough Task Manager tells me that ‘chrome.exe’ is taking up a lot of CPU.
But there has to be a ‘why’, doesn’t there? I thought at first it might have been my Avira thingy doing a sneaky update (as it often seems to do).
It’s really getting beyond a joke.
