Hey everyone I have my Surface Pro 4(i5 Core/8GB of RAM/256GB of storage) and had it for over 6 months now.

But I have been getting this stupid slow down problem recently only in the last 2/3 weeks all of the sudden my Surface Pro 4 would get slow and laggy in things like selecting/highlighting a desktop program, opening and closing programs, switching in between programs and navigating around the Windows interface and more for absolutely no reason and I don't understand why I am getting this because the CPU is always 10-0% and most of the 8GB of RAM is not used up in the task manager. :mad:

And to make this stupid problem stop and go away temporary is that I have to shut down the device and boot it up again and everything goes back to normal and running fast again but about 4-7 days after rebooting i get the stupid problem again as I describe above for some bizarre reason!! :mad:

And I have Avira Anti Virus software installed and it says that I don't have any viruses on my Surface Pro 4.


And this is really really annoying now as it has happened 3 times now in the last 2/3 weeks and because I definitely don't really really keep on restarting my Surface device like every few days just to get it back to normal and running fast again and before this month I have never had this stupid problem on my Surface Pro 4, So in the last couple weeks I have started getting this stupid slow down problem.

To be honest I am completely clueless and I don't really know why that I am getting this stupid slow down problem on my Surface Pro 4....???


So everyone I really really need some help!!! How to stop and get rid of this stupid slow down problem that I have been getting on my Surface Pro 4 recently?? Have you ever had this stupid slow problem on your Surface Pro 4?? o_O


And the option that i won't do is to factory reset or wipe the whole device which I definitely don't want to do that!!!

Probably need to do a windows refresh, if not a factory reset. Sounds like Windows is getting hung up on something, or a program is slowing something down.

You are not on the insider preview, are you? I had that's some problem when I tried out the insider preview.

If you are not on Insider preview, you could try rolling back to the previous update of windows.

Stop looking at porn... no seriously, something is wrong with it. Bring it to the store and have it checked out.
