One of the more common causes of a slow computer is the file system becoming overloaded and bogged down with things to do. The easiest way to solve this problem is to simply restart File Explorer.
While this may sound daunting, the process is fairly simple: Go to Task Manager (by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys together, and then selecting it) and locate ‘Windows Explorer’ (which may also display as Explorer.exe). When you’ve found it, right click and select Restart (but be careful not to click End Task, because that will cause the PC to crash).
There will be some disk whirring and Explorer should restart. Your computer should now feel more responsive and any of the glitches that were appearing will hopefully have vanished. If this still does not work, however, the best option is to take some time out to restart the PC entirely.
