Predator Triton 500 PT515-51 Gone Super Slow and is Unusable

sexybabe

I don't know much about computer science let alone how gaming laptops work and I need help in finding a solution to this problem. 

When I first brought it in summer 2020, it was lightning fast could use photoshop, Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, 50 browser tabs all at the same time with no problem. 

But now it is so slow, on start up when I type in my password the text lags behind, when it opens the apps don't show up in the bar at the bottom for a while. and when I use apps they are usable but heavier ones like photoshop go a bit slow and can lag. and I definitely now struggle with opening up multiple apps like I used to. 

It had windows 10 when I brought it, but I got a free upgrade to windows 11
my laptops got predator sense but i got no clue what it is 

Its specs are

System Type x64-based PC

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

What is the exact model? Example AN515-55-58VH. Slowness can occur for a few reasons:
a) overheating: I advise checking gpu and cpu temperatures with hwmonitor;
b) virus or malware: use some antivirus to scan the hard disk and ssd;
c) hard disk or ssd problem: I advise you to download crystaldiskinfo program to check the health of these drives;
d) the hard disk and the ssd can be very fragmented: in some cases, if the ssd has very full storage, the controller cannot allocate the files, even when the trim is activated. It would be interesting to defrag the hard disk and the ssd;
