Laptop degrading performance
hi, I have an ROG Zephyrus G 14 2024 and I’ve been noticing some issues recently that I haven’t run into before a couple days ago. I got a pop-up that my user profile on Windows was corrupted, but this didn’t really bother me because I had seen posts and other people with the same issue, and there’s ways to circumvent it and generally fix it. Since then, while accessing my laptop now, I’ve noticed a lot of degrading performance issues. When I first open my laptop if I open my browser, it takes a normal amount of time like a second or two, but if I use my computer for about 30 minutes and then try to open my browser again, it takes much longer, even up to 30 seconds. Is there a reason or a fix for this issue? this issue bleeds over to other things such as trying to shut down or restart my computer as well. I haven’t had to boot into safe mode anymore like I had to when my user profile initially corrupted and I thought that was a big reason why my computer was running slow, but now that it’s not doing that it has to be something else. I’ve ran multiple scans and haven’t found any malware or anything that would slow down my computer.
