For these reasons, Windows 10 is not responding correctly with you.

It is natural for a computer to be slow in terms of performance in heavy work for several reasons, most notably that you have weak computer components that are no longer suitable to handle the heavy data imposed by professional business applications and modern graphic games. In such a case, you have no choice but to upgrade your computer components based on what your work requires, whether you are thirsty for a stronger central processor or graphics processor or need to increase the random access memory capacity.

But what is not natural is facing continuous problems while performing your work, such as slow performance, constant lagging, system freezing, mouse cursor stopping for moments, or facing the blue screen and such common breakdown scenarios when the operating system does not respond correctly, and we will provide you with a logical set of solutions to get rid of those problems with Windows 10 and they may be valid for previous operating systems as well.

1- Depletion of Hardware Resources

While working on the computer, as soon as you start to notice the system's slow performance and the lack of smooth work, you should immediately monitor the percentage of hardware resource usage. Random access memory (RAM) and the central processor are the most components that are congested while working on heavy programs. The computer works on storing all the processes responsible for managing the operating system and all running programs in random access memory in the form of data results.

Once the RAM is fully filled to its maximum limits, the operating system will start relying on the Pagefile to store the results of new processes on the hard disk memory, unfortunately, no matter how fast your storage disk is, it will be very slow compared to the speed of RAM, and this will make you feel the system is slow while doing your work.

Therefore, your first step is to check the Task Manager for hardware resources and how to use them. If it becomes clear to you that your current business programs are depleting the RAM or causing pressure on the central processor to work at 100%, this is evidence that you need a more powerful central processor or to increase the RAM capacity in the computer.

Professional programs and productivity programs such as design and editing cause the central processor to slow down with data-intensive calculations that it is supposed to process. Therefore, the better you buy a more powerful central processor and faster and larger RAM, the faster you will be able to execute your tasks.

If it becomes clear to you that what depletes hardware resources is unknown programs and you do not know their source, you must immediately search for them on the Internet and conduct a scan from your antivirus to make sure you do not have viruses or malicious programs.

Some components may not be fully compatible with Windows 10 for one reason or another. The reason may be that these components are very old and the operating system cannot fully comply with them. Therefore, always think about the components you recently added to your computer, whether it is RAM, a mouse, keyboard, printer, sound card, or other peripherals. The lack of compatibility with any of them may cause you to face many malfunctions such as disabling and freezing the system, restarting the computer on its own, and many other problems.

Therefore, if you want to benefit from modern business programs and Windows 10 system, you also need to make sure that all hardware components are modern and fully supported by these programs and the operating system as well.

3- Driver issues

This problem has several different aspects. The reason may be the lack of the necessary driver by the operating system and compatible with some components you have in your computer, or it may be that the driver version you have is old and therefore incompatible. The driver is the program responsible for the interaction of the Windows system with hardware components.

Therefore, if you are facing freezing problems in the system or have recently noticed a slowdown in performance, the reason may be the drivers. Therefore, it is better to look for the hardware drivers you have on your computer through the official websites of the manufacturers of the components or the laptop, and if you find that there are no recent drivers for many years, then your best choice may rely on Driver Booster.

4- Event log issues

Registry problems are unavoidable. These records are a database where the Windows system saves all kinds of detailed information about system management and configuration. As soon as you install a program or even remove it, there is an immediate change in the procedures of these records, and over time and with frequent use of the system, the record becomes filled with events and may sometimes face some errors in configurations.

Although they may sometimes be the cause of some problems you face with the system, but Microsoft strongly recommends not relying on registry cleaning programs because they are useless and sometimes dangerous. In any case, registry problems can only be fixed by resetting a new Windows system, but it is rare that you resort to this trick as long as you have not used registry cleaning programs manually or have been infected with some malicious viruses that destroy configuration and system management records.

5- Viruses and Malware

Viruses and malware mean problems. Some viruses damage your precious files or encrypt them and you cannot use them again. Other viruses are dedicated only to pumping ads while you are online, causing the browser to freeze every now and then. Also, be careful that there are some dangerous browser extensions that sometimes try to spy on you without your knowledge and cause a slowdown in browsing. Therefore, you should use a strong antivirus program and start a deep scan to make sure that your device is completely clean of any malicious software that may be the cause of slow computer performance.

6- More than one antivirus program running

In fact, Windows 10 has a powerful antivirus program that may make you dispense with any external antivirus. However, if you find it insufficient for that task, at least make sure that your antivirus does not conflict with Windows antivirus, as there is likely to be a conflict between antivirus programs, causing a significant slowdown in the computer.

7- Problems with Some Installed Programs

If you have started facing problems recently, try to remember the programs you recently installed. Unfortunately, poorly written, old, or even if they are just an addition to Google Chrome browser, it is possible that they may cause a lot of problems. Also, notice if Windows does not respond while using a specific program, it may be the sole reason for the problem. Perhaps it needs an update, or you need to look for the appropriate version for your Windows system and kernel.

In the end, all the cases we talked about are often the causes of most common problems we encounter while using and working on Windows 10. Sometimes the problem may be due to a physical malfunction and damage in hardware components, so you should know the signs of hard disk failure, signs of RAM failure, or if there is a problem with the motherboard. If you have difficulty identifying the cause of the problem, rely on the Windows Event Viewer and you will easily find the culprit.
