How do I fix my computer that's been running slow?

Start by checking the general health of your computer. Make sure it has the latest updates to its operating system installed, run an antivirus and anti-malware scan, disable any background processes and applications that you don't need running, and check the amount of free space on your hard drive. You can also try running a disk defragmenter to help optimize your computer's performance. If none of these solutions help, you may need to contact a professional technician for further help.
