Hello guys! I have a problem with my laptop and I would like to get some help. I bought this laptop about 3 months ago, the model is HP Pavilion Power 15-cb001la.
In general, it takes a lot of time to boot and to launch any program. This was ok for me since I knew the lack of an SSD would be like that. For example, there were some other things, for example, when I press the windows key, it delays one or two seconds to display the menu, and If I want to write something on the search bar it also delays to show what I wrote on it. I know that this may sound like I'm too touchy, but it is awful to have no feedback from the computer, sometimes I don't really know if it's loading or not, and I don't really think this is an exhaustive task for the hardware.
Some other times when I turn it on, all the animations just don't work fluently (like the windows menu again). When this happens, even using chrome is bad, because every time I scroll through the page there's a delay on it too, and even videos on youtube look laggy. The thing is it only happens sometimes, and I don't know why.
After that, I realized the task manager frequently shows a 96-100% disk usage for a long period of time. I've already tried some other solutions for this like disabling Windows Search, SuperFetch, Antivirus, etc. but I don't really think it has worked. It always shows a different random process consuming about 60% of the disc.
So these are the questions I have in mind: Is there any hardware/software problem with my laptop? If it is, how can I know what's happening? Is there a way to solve it? Is the disk damaged? Or maybe that's all I can expect from this model, and it's just a shitty setup xD. I have no idea of what's happening with this thing, and it's driving me crazy, so please, if you have any idea help me!
Thanks for reading!
