Why Is My Machine Slowing Down?
A computer running Windows can slow down for many reasons. Viruses, spyware, software updates, hardware issues, and more can lead to performance drops.
Slow machines represent one of the largest sources of work for us.
Perhaps when you purchased your computer, it ran like a champ and quickly did everything you needed. Now … well, not so much. Perhaps it takes forever to boot. Or starting applications is slower than molasses. Or maybe the machine acts sluggish when you try to use it for just about anything.
Regardless of the specifics, the underlying theme is simple: it’s slow. There are many, many reasons that a machine could slow down. Let’s list a few of the most common reasons here, along with some advice on what steps to take.

Have you got an amazing shed? Show us!
Last year, Whangārei's Angela Lucas and Mike Mattin, pictured here with Cashew, saw their “tilted” shed named Resene Shed of the Year. They received a $1599 GARDENA SILENO City 250 robot lawnmower and $1000 worth of Resene paints/wood stains, as well as a one-year subscription to NZ Gardener. This year's prizes are up for grabs, so it's time to send in the photos and the stories behind your man caves, she sheds, clever upcycled spaces, potty potting sheds and colourful chicken coops.
