Slow computer

Since the last Windows 10 update on my Lenovo ideapad 330 all the programs and apps have been running slowly but I don't know if it's a Windows prob or a Firefox prob. Can anyone suggest troubleshooting techniques that don't require a PhD in IT systems?

Thanks for info.

check the various security systems - it may have defaulted to checking every file as you click on them

Thanks for your help, chaps. It was a Firefox prob. Did an uninstall/reset/refresh (twice) and now the laptop is behaving itself. I'll delete the thread soon once I assume you've seen the acknowledgement.

no leave it up - its always useful to search old threads to see if the problem you run into has already been fixed!!

Good idea! I'll grant it a (temporary) stay of execution. I'm trying to avoid adding more clutter to the internet, given that 90% of the data on it is either out of date or no longer relevant or just plain wrong! [/RANT]

Too late for that worthy idea I'm afraid............
