Bought a Lenovo YOGA 510 in September 2016. Had been running grand in the first 2 months, recently it is unbelievably slow. Specs are respectable : i7-6500U ; 8GB RAM (DDR4 i think) 250gb SSD.
So the boot up is fast. But the start up of programs is painful. EVEN if I just clock task manager, I kid you not, it takes about 7-12 seconds for the window to appear. Same with every other process/program. Chrome same story. When I went into properties of My Computer, it took 4 seconds for the info and specs to load up.
And lads this was a really good laptop until now. Not a lot of programs installed. Antivirus-Bitdefender, MS Office, CCleaner, Grammarly, and just some more basic programs. I checked for malware, no malicious extensions in chrome.
Also i found this weird. When i go into sketchbook or paint, and i try to save a project; it wont let me. It says i dont have permission which is weird because i remember 2 months ago i very much did.
I'm really dumbfound guys. I checked forums for ''Lenovo'' ''yoga'' ''new laptop'' but nothing. Can't find any suspcious processes, BUT maybe yous can help me.
So please help me and i will try provide any relevant info.

I have a brand new Lenovo Yoga which was lagging with input. The mouse was sluggish and pressing a key took seconds to half a minute before responding. When looking for a solution, I read a lot of crap, like return laptop, install Windows 7, adjust Power settings or stop services that were non exisiting on my new laptop.

What worked for me is adjusting the Windows page file. See how to adjust it here: https://www.tecklyfe.com/possible-fix-windows-10-running-very-slow/

I have a a 2018 model... same issues with laggy performance. Running more like a 5 year old laptop. I updated all firmware and drivers, ran revo uninstaller pro to remove any Lenovo related apps, went into bios and disabled intel amt, sgx, vt-d, virtualization. I'm not sure what from my list did it, it's running fast now!
