see what programs are running all the time — there may be many programs/services running in the background that you rarely use (change them from ‘automatic’ startup to ‘manual’)
if you can turn off animations/autoplay in the browser and try to use the older (simpler) interfaces on various websites
use ad blocking features - definitely ... the load keeps getting bigger as they cram more complex crap on the pages

Would Brave be considered Chrome? I ask because I got an email from Twitter saying there was a login using Chrome. I don’t use Chrome, but I did log in to Twitter using Brave.
I don’t think so.
I haven’t logged on to Twitter since I have been using Brave so I can’t say for sure.
But I do know that Brave is not part of Chrome and not owned by Google.

yes windows10 forcing those background updates kills my speed every single time

And so I changed my Twitter password. Just to be safe.
Have you tried overclocking the cpu?
always a good idea
It could be the hard drive failing or it could be something that happened to me.
My tower was running at a glacial pace. I took it in. They checked it out and it ran fine. I brought it home. The ice age returned. Took it back. They showed it to me and it was running great. Took it back home. Mammoths began to die.
I had a stupid idea. What if it were the power strip? Changed the power strip. The tower ran great.
So try plugging it in somewhere else with a different power strip. It can't hurt.
Wow, that is amazing. TY.
