Hello kem1138,

I would suggest you to test your computer for any Virus or malware, which might be slowing down your computer.

Hi Neo33 thanks for your answer
The computer has a fresh windows install and It’s clean from virus and malwares.
I noticed that CristalDiskMark changed the parameters of his test now the third test “Seq” has been removed so for me is difficult to understand if the HDD is slow or not. The 2 printscreen are not comparable.
Is my HDD slow or is normal working order?
thank you
