Hi, I'm running Windows 10 x64 and today I have noticed slowdown. The mouse freezez sometimes and when I click on things there is a delay half the time. There doesn't seem to be anything running in task manager eating CPU.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

You are being too vague. What are you clicking on?

Make sure you run a full hard drive test. Also, are you using a spinner or an SSD?

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
