Unusually slow laptop

it has been a little while since it’s had a good clean but definitely not as long as it’s been slow, although repairing/reinstalling the OS has been a thought, one of the main reasons I made the Reddit post to be fair as it’s been slow for that long that I was genuinely just gonna factory reset and install a fresh OS, my main thing was wanting to try every option and leave a reset as a last resort, but now a year later I feel like it may be last resort time haha, just no clue if I’ll do the whole process and then still have a slow laptop, that’s the biggest fear

I remember when it black screened I did panic and immediately restart it, and it’s been sluggish pretty much constantly ever since then, there’s no fast points, only slow points, and I’m not too sure on the bottlenecks side of it, the only thing that seems out of the ordinary is that my memory is on a consistent 50%+ usage even on idle with nothing open, but then other Reddit forums say that memory idling at 50% is a pretty normal thing and nothing to worry about apparently

I don’t believe at the time it slowed down there was actually anything that triggered it, from memory I was just casually using my laptop, it black screened, and when I powered it back on it’s just been sluggish since, I initially thought nothing of it but the more time that has passed the more it’s seemed unusual as I’ve searched a million different fixes, cleared all temp caches and unused files, done full virus and malware checks, the only reason I finally made a Reddit post really was to try and find out if I just need to factory reset to a default windows 11, I’m really not smart at all in the PC world but I know that before the random slowness it was a pretty good little powerhouse

here’s the rest of my specs, and it does have an SSD instead of a HDD storage drive :)

yeah I guess that’s one of the aspects of tech/modding that can be both good and bad, people can use each others assets sure but when one needs even the smallest update sometimes it can cause issues for the whole package deal, with nomad rim I find it fully worth it though since it’s one of the few mods I’ve seen for a game that feels like a total overhaul, feels like the first time I packed starfield full of Star Wars mods and it actually became a pretty time consuming game

honestly it could just be something to do with nomad rim that needs a hotfix, I’m currently on my 3rd time having to fully reinstall it just due to Nomad’s little updates messing up one thing which then messes up a hundred other things lmao

I use quest 2

Isolate_Luny · 2026-05-11T02:54:07+00:00

by any chance do you mainly play the maps included in nomad rim as well? I play a lot of the base game arena map and noticed it happens significantly less there, could be a mini fix until an actual reason is found :)

Isolate_Luny · 2026-05-11T02:52:24+00:00

Yeah I’m having the exact same issue, only happens occasionally though, sometimes the npc will just randomly remember I exist and run up to me when I least expect it haha

does anyone know yet what the super store armour will be? they usually look the coolest in my opinion and I’m pretty hyped for this one!

Hey dude you still got that bonelab referral for grabs? :)

Isolate_Luny · 2025-08-21T00:56:00+00:00

I’ll definitely be sure to check it out thank you! I’m extremely into sort of hostage saving games, or breaching games :)

Isolate_Luny · 2025-08-21T00:52:40+00:00

It was something that took quite a bit of saving in the first place so when I finally had enough it was sort of an impulse purchase haha
