My gaming PC has become very slow. To open Firefox, it takes a few minutes. I've already reset it. With games like Fortnite I only have 60 fps with low / medium settings.

Here is a parr key data:

I5-7400 / Gtx 1050 ti / 8GB Ram

What can I do to make it faster?

Does it work if I increase the ram to 16GB?

I have a very similar processor and graphics card and I have the same problems…

I primarily type on the processor

Have you ever defragmented so that innumerable files disappear after a while? This creates gaps and the pc takes longer and longer

All drivers up to date + Windows? Do you have a SSD

Ex

Yes, I have an SSD

Ex

Not everything is up to date

Ex

Yes

St

Ok, let's see if the drivers are up to date

No

Then do everything up to date

Then update everything. Otherwise I don't know what to do next. Sorry. Maybe viruses?

Even with the hardware, things like browsers have to open etc. Still go without problems.
So something is wrong with Windows, the browser or possibly the hard drive.

Rather Windows or the hard drive
