Try restarting. normally i get degraded performance when my pc is left on for a while. ( like leaving it on overnight )

okay :3

Sounds like a temperature issue.  How hot is the cpu?

[IPickle]

Also. I leave it off for about 5 mins. just to cool down. you may not need to do that. however I do just in case.

clean it with hitman pro, malware bytes. worth a shot

cant ive got Ubuntu they don’t work with it and ive tried with wine before

[IPickle]

Oh this could be interesting. let my try research some solutions.

[Sauron]

It may be overheating

 

another possibility is a very, very slow or almost dead hard disc.

Perhaps try a windows vm and see if that'll do it? 

[TrifectaIII]

Did you do anything between the time when it was "fine" and when you noticed a performance drop?

[IsaacDaGrazin]

my cpu is only around 36 degrees Celsius

[IsaacDaGrazin]

not really except obs did crash my pc on lossless recording

i dont really know how to set a vm

[IPickle]

Do you have any resource monitoring utility?

[TrifectaIII]

I assume that restarting didn't help? And is that 36 degrees under load or while idle? If that was idle, might want to try getting a reading under load.

[IsaacDaGrazin]

yeah ubuntus system monitor and hardware sensors indicator

that was just with firefox and system monitor open

also restarting didnt help much

Just check if there is anything looking 'unusual'. e.g. things capping to 100% or one application using a lot of resources

not really firefox and the system monitor are only using 3%-7% cpu now and firefox having 500mbs of ram

Temperature throttling?  What are your temps?  Sorry dbl post.

[IsaacDaGrazin]

Temperature throttling?  What are your temps?

33-48 degrees Celsius my temp throttle i think is at 80

turn it off and on again.

if that doesn't work then I would try to do a virus scan.

try uninstalling unused programs. 

go into task manager and hit "end task" on the programs that are using the most of your computer's resources (that you are not using of course) 

 

Hope I was able to help

thanks but nothing was using a lot of resources and i use all of my programs also i dont think it could be a virus since its unlikely i would get one on Ubuntu :3

thanks though i appreciate it
