Slow Computer....Urgh!

Computer is running super slow. I ran updates, did a spyware/malware check, did a defrag, and used cc cleaner...minimal help.

Anything else Im missing to stop the sluggish performance?

Aside from the ususl pron guesses...
Check anything that might activate the microphone for data collection. It was killing the battery on windows surfaces for w10. Im sure depending theres some app thats tried that one again...and just as poorly

What processes are running in the background? Open taskmanager and see what is using your RAM and CPU.

Is there a numerical range that will help?

If you're still slow, try this free one. ONLY check the top row of boxes (4), and security defense, and defrag. 6 boxes checked, total.
