Hello, Windows 11 computer, system SSD
Since this morning my computer is very very slow to execute any command. Explorer, settings...
Yet Task Manager shows: CPU 0%, memory 5%, disk access 0% and seems to indicate that no task or processor is active. but despite this, for example opening File Explorer takes about 10 minutes.
Could you tell me some ways to identify the source of this malfunction? Thanks for your help.
Best regards

Hello,
Start by checking the SSD status with CrystalDiskInfo

It can be Good, Caution, or Bad; in the last two cases, it must be replaced.
Then if the SSD is Good, a data‑preserving repair could fix it.
Download the Windows 11 ISO file (disk image)
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows11
When you have the ISO file, right‑click > Open with > Windows Explorer
Then click the setup.exe file
Follow the instructions to "install" without erasing everything, so that the checkmarks showing you keep everything are indeed OK
You can also check for viruses and unnecessary processes if you want.

But remember to back up your personal data and browser favorites before anything. -
Thank you for your contributions and recommendations. Here is where I stand.
More radical than a restore, I reset the PC while making sure not to delete all my data. It all took about 30 minutes. But once the PC rebooted, I fall back to the same issue: extreme slowness in the execution of any program.
Best regards

Hello, finally I’m going to reinstall Windows 11 from a USB key. I have an ISO image. I’m currently creating a Windows 11 install USB from an ISO image. regards
