XPS 13 Very Slow with Lightroom

My wife got a Dell XPS 13 9380 at the beginning of 2020 to do photo editing, almost exclusively in Lightroom. In 2022 she went from Windows 10 to 11. Over the last year-ish its really started slowing down though. It takes like 2-3 full seconds to switch from one photo to the next inside Lightroom, which is borderline unusable. Is there anything I can do to speed this thing up?

I’d open system usage with lightroom and see what’s causing you the issue. The 8th gen mobile chips aren’t exactly great 

I’m hitting 100% CPU usage and about 12GB of memory. GPU is chilling at like 10% 😂

Likely the program is more demanding now or something else is taking it up in the background. 

Anything I can do about it? Fresh Windows install? Or is it time for a new laptop?
