Why is my computer so slow?
A slow computer rarely has just one cause. Over the years, programs pile up, updates stall halfway, the drive fills up and dust collects inside. Each one costs a little speed, and together they make a computer feel much older than it is.
What we check
- Programs that start by themselves and keep running in the background
- Windows and app updates that are stuck or failing
- How full your drive is, and whether it’s an older spinning hard drive
- Signs of malware or browser add-ons you didn’t ask for
- Dust in the fans and vents, which makes a computer run hot and slow itself down
Many of these can be sorted out with remote help while you watch. If the cause is hardware, like a failing drive or a clogged fan, we come to you.
Fix it or replace it?
A proper clean-up is often all it takes. On an older computer, swapping the hard drive for a solid-state drive (SSD) can make it feel new again. If your computer is too old to run a supported version of Windows, we’ll tell you honestly, so you can decide whether it’s worth fixing. Still on Windows 10? See our Windows 10 guide.
Imran at Geek Square was brilliant. I asked him to help me identify whether I had a virus on my PC and he was able to do this over the telephone. He was very patient with me and clear and explained that it was not a virus and why it was a malware instead. He also walked me through the process of clearing the malware over the phone and unlike many tech guys, he was very clear and articulate. His instructions were absolutely clear. I am so lucky to have had Imran help me and I would absolutely recommend his service. He knows what he is doing! Problem was solved in 30 minutes and I am now better educated as to how my PC works ! Imran is amazing !
