    When my PC was at windows 10 it was fast and reliable. When Microsoft forced the Windows 11 upgrade it has been so GOD DAM SLOW **** did Microsoft do? It now takes 20 minutes to login Win 11 where in Win 10 it only took 30 seconds. Your suggestions suck and does nothing to resolve the issue. Microsoft really **** up with this one. I am better off downgrading to Windows ME than to be at Windows 11.

    Hi,
    My name is Igor, I have 12 Microsoft MVP awards. It's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you. I'm sorry you have a problems.

    Do you have HDD or SSD? If it is HDD, please check drive's health with third party CrystalDiskInfo tool. If you have SSD, check it with a manufacturer's tool.

    And please run Task manager, open Performance tab, select Disk C: at the left and show a screenshot.

    CrystalDiskInfo tool works great. Every HDD should have this software.

    I have tried everything on this page and still getting 100% disk usage. This renders the laptop no more than a paper weight. Any other suggestion. Apart from swapping hard drive.
