(Help Required) - Slow Medium End PC

[Phuizour]

Hi LTT Fourms,

 

So I recently rebuilt my PC, specs as follows:

 

i7 13700K

B660-G Gaming Motherboard

16GB DDR5 Ram

1TB SSD

 

My question is everything from opening Steam, running powershell commands, opening apps, right clicking for context menu all have a delay and are slow to respond.

Now I know the PC i have isn't a High end PC but the Windows 11 image is running very slow almost if it's like on a i3, I have tried re-installing Windows 11, re-installing Windows 11 (debloated ISO), Custom Windows 11 ISO and all had this problem.

If there is anyone that can assit or advise on what i should attached to this thread to diagnose the issue that would be much appreciated.

Do you have all the device-specific drivers installed?

How about the GPU? Did you get the driver package from Nvidia?

Yes, i used NVCleanInstall or whatever it's called. Also im currently using Snappy Driver Tools to check for driver updates.

Don't do that. Tools for driver updates are just bloatware. 

It's really strange though because your PC, while not being top notch, is still really good! 

 

Maybe try booting into safe mode to see if it's also slow? 

And I'd maybe try Win10 too because win11 is still new-ish so it could have some issues as well.

eww.. bloat ware.. never use that. go to vendor's support page for your mainboard and download win11 drivers there. and bios updates. 

 

for so slow.. try uninstalling last feature update from windows.. boot holding shift down and trouble shoot .. etc.. and remove last windows update.

So to close this topic off, I think i fixed it with the advice of everyone.

I installed the offical Geforce Experiance, Enabled Secure boot, Turned off Indexing (see attached image), Updated Intel Drivers.

 

 

One of these i think has fixed the issue and im pretty sure it was Secure Boot but not 100% sure.
