Hello, i think i have a problem with my ssd... when i log into my pc, it takes a couple of minutes to open the home page. once its logged in, it takes a few minutes to open whatever i am trying to open and everything is incredibly slow, and when i download things its incredibly slow (download speed is a couple of kb/s). after about an hour or so, the speed returns to (almost) normal. when i log off, it takes about 5 minutes after i click the power button for the fans to turn off. ive done all the window updates, ive done all my gpu driver updates, i’ve scanned my ssd and hard drive and it says they are healthy and ive made sure that there are no applications that open up when i boot that could hog the bandwidth yet still i get this issue. I have also done the windows malware scan so i dont think that is the issue (especially since i have not downloaded anything at all recently). has anyone ran into this issue previously and what have you done to overcome this issue? if not, does anyone have any suggestions on what i could do? thanks
 
Hello

Download and post.. https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/download

To post.
To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.



This will give us some info on what may be the issue.
 
when i download things its incredibly slow (download speed is a couple of kb/s).

Has zero to do with the SSD and is most likely down to a security setting but if you don`t provide the Speccy url we won't be able to tell you.

sorry, i have been out all day and cannot provide the speccy url until later when i am back on my pc.
why would my ssd not have anything to do with slow download speeds if its being downloaded on my ssd?
 
Download speeds are dictated by the internet connection not a storage device.

when i log into my pc, it takes a couple of minutes to open the home page. once its logged

You log into the Windows desktop, a home page is the main web page of a website which again is internet connection related.
