Hi Judy,

can you post the make and model of the machine your using? Also was Windows already installed or did you install it yourself, if so was it a upgrade or custom install?

Some things you could try.

Ccleaner: Will remove old files and clean temporary folders.

Auslogics Disk Defrag: This will tidy up your hard drives although if your using SSD's don't use it.

Make sure your Windows is fully updated by using the Windows Update utility found via the control panel. It's set to automatic by default but it's worth checking.
