My computer is running slowly — how can I speed it up?

Hardware

Common fixes for a sluggish computer:

  1. Restart — this clears memory and is the single most effective fix.
  2. Close programs and browser tabs you are not using.
  3. Make sure Windows/macOS updates have finished installing.
  4. Check available disk space; free up room if it is nearly full.

If it is still slow after a restart, open a ticket under Hardware and note when the slowdown began.
