Model:
AN515-51-72HL

Part No:
NH.Q2QAA.002

Specs:
8GB RAM
1TH HDD
4GB GTX 1050 Ti

It's only been 2 days. I've already fully updated Windows.

Last night, my laptop suddenly started feeling slow.
I'm only streaming on chrome, doing my regular scanning, downloading a *****, or just any application open.
My task manager showed Disc was running at 100%, and Memory was at 70-80%

When I'm doing regular browsing, it goes back to being more or less Disc at 10%

What's wrong?

    Hi,
    If you have any third party AV programs installed, remove them with the removal tool provided by the program, do the google search for the removal tool for the particular AV program, also consider installing a SSD, you can install a M.2 SATA SSD, transfer the OS to it and use the HDD for your DATA or replace the HDD with a 2.5" SSD, whichever you prefer.
