    If your computer is experiencing problems like applications freezing or serious slowdowns, you can use computer diagnostic software to troubleshoot the problem! Download and Run Diagnostic Tools Like Soluto to Identify Problems. It is a free Windows tool that shows you which applications may be slowing your system down.

    You also might want to consider running a quick PC health check to identify if your Hard disk is failing! there's a free online tool called OverDrive from PC PitStop you can use that will analyze your computer's hardware, software, security, and so on, and give you recommended fixes, if any.
    Another free utility CrystalDiskInfo keeps tabs on your hard drive health, including temperature and S.M.A.R.T. disk reporting.

    It seems to be better, just tried a site, Tripadvisor that was painfully slow and is working great now, hope it lasts! Thank you.

    Glad to hear that it appears to be the root of the problem.

    Your 1st suggestion, Soluto has some terrible reviews.

    Don't take up medicine as a profession as you will end up amputating someone's leg when all they have is a sore throat.
