How to determine the cause of laptop brakes?

Question

Iron

Such a problem: the laptop has been slowing down for a long time. Symptoms are as follows:
1) Long loading, up to 10 minutes until ready. When loading, a black screen hangs for a long time without any inscriptions (but the screen is on, you can see by the change in tone - it is grayish), then it starts to load
2) Long launch of programs, after starting the programs work without brakes.
3) If you suddenly decided to install a Windows update - this is for an hour for sure, or even an hour and a half
On a Windows 10 laptop.
What and how should you test first and where to look for a problem?
I sin on the hard drive, but I'm not sure. Suspicions are based on the fact that during the brakes you can directly hear how intensely the hard drive creaks

Answer 1

Change disk. Install ssd. Win10 does not work normally on normal.
And test your disk with programs. Broken / not broken. It looks like the disk is cranky

Answer 2

1) there are too many applications in autorun
2.3) the disk may be loaded (partially solved by defragmentation) or too many background applications are running, look at the task manager!

Answer 3

1) I would throw out 95% of programs from startup.
2)

during the brakes, you can directly hear how hard the hard drive creaks hard

- I have this on laptops on any offs. assemblies on clean Windows (I sin that the T-shirts were scored on hdd, for 10 give them an SSD). I solved the problem like this:
Windows 10 configuration script - Habr community encourages!)
PS: Damn Avast.

Answer 4

Only SSD. They are there in general under *** whether, that neither update, then an upgrade.

Answer 5

Is there enough memory? Maybe one stick of memory died and turned off?
