My lap top is running Windows XP with all of the latest updates. Every so often is goes into a go slow mode when it takes ages to open an application, switch between applications or close applications.
It doesn't seem to be related to any particular programme I have running. I have nothing exotic that I use. The normal programmes that could be open are Outlook, Chrome browser, Nokia Suite, Word, Excel, and Adobe Acrobat.
If I run Task Manager the CPU usage will be low quite, often less than 20% yet the computer runs as if its running at 100%.
Any ideas? What else can I check?
Thanks.
