Or is everything going slower on the computer?
My online computer is crawling, especially Yahoo mail.
I'm an elderly non-geek. Is there a simple solution?
Thanks, guys.

Or is everything going slower on the computer?
My computer files & documents respond very well. It's on line that is slow. Interestingly, this afternoon I noticed the email and on line sites are moving a little faster, but not up to snuff. Could it be Charter? We are bundled with them--phones, TV, internet.
Run an internet speed test, use google, see if your getting around what your paying for.
Those speed up programs usually make things worse.
Since you use Yahoo email, your email is not on your PC so depending on your machine, a factory reset will return it to it's as new speed.
That's the non geek solution.
If you want to dive into what can slow a Windows PC down, you have to know your PC a lot better.
