after upgrading to win10, did you go to hp's website, search for your specific model, download and install the specific drivers for your laptop?
I have an HP laptop that is about 4 years old. I upgraded to Windows 10 a few years ago and have had problems ever since. Because of these problems, the laptop has rarely been used.
Every browser has been tried and each of them lag. The circle that shows a page is loading will spin for what seems to be 5 minutes per page. Videos stutter and never play smoothly. Error messages such as' "if playback doesn't begin shortly try restarting your device" are seen every time I attempt to watch a video in YouTube or even on a news site such as CNN.
When I try to navigate around the computer itself, everything seems to open just fine. Browsing files is not laggy. So the issue seems to mostly be with the browser usage. That is also when I notice the laptop to lock up completely.
I have Googled for solutions, which has led me to try getting rid of any spyware, viruses, cookies, temp files, I have even updated graphic card drivers, updated windows, changed my desktop theme to a more basic one.
I have even tried disabling hardware acceleration in YouTube.
I have even tried a handful of attempts to tweak windows 10 since many people had been complaining about it being the culprit to having a laggy/ slow computer. Nothing has changed the outcome. My browser continues to be slow, stuttering and lagging. The laptop has not been used since updating from windows 8 to 10 but I now need to be able to use the laptop so I must find a way to correct the problems.
As for internet service, I am connected by Ethernet cord and have speeds of 240Mbps down and 14 up.
When I do speed tests on this laptop, even tho I am connected via Ethernet and am sitting right by the modem, the laptop only shows speeds of 80Mbps down. While this should be plenty fast enough, I cant play any videos. Browser will not load pages.
