Is your **laptop** running slow in **Truro**? You are not alone. Over time, dust, old software, failing storage, and battery or thermal issues can make even a decent device feel sluggish.

At **Repatch**, we specialise in fast, on demand repair for **laptops** and other devices across **Cornwall**, including **Truro**. If your screen freezes, apps take ages to open, or the fan runs nonstop, we can help.


# Common reasons your laptop slows down

Here are the most frequent causes we see for slow performance in **Truro** households and local businesses.


## Low storage space

If your **SSD** or **HDD** is nearly full, Windows and other systems struggle to manage files. This can slow boot times and make updates painful.


## Malware or unwanted software

Browsers filled with toolbars, popups, or background apps can drag performance down. Even if your laptop looks fine at first, it can become slow over a few weeks.


## Failing drive or ageing storage

A worn **SSD** or an **HDD** with bad sectors often causes stuttering, long loading screens, and random slowdowns.


## Too much heat, dust, or fan issues

If your **fan** is clogged or the thermal paste has dried out, your laptop may throttle to protect itself. That leads to slow performance, especially during work or study.


## Outdated software or system errors

Missing updates, corrupted system files, and driver issues can cause lag. This is common after Windows updates or sudden power loss.
