Why's my laptop so slow?
Is such a high usage normal for this laptop on idle? It's been in use for a few years now. Windows and Intel graphics are updated. I ran a windows security scan too in case there was a virus. It lags a lot as well for example just opening file explorer or a web browser takes long and moving the window causes stutters too.
Sry for not them not being screenshots.
Edit: Thank you for all the help guys, I tried some things that were recommended but not exactly sure what triggerred the cpu to go back to full speed.
Didn't have to open the laptop up or anything. Not a charger issue since I did everything on battery. Didn't update anything.
I restarted the laptop amd turned of hp coolsense. Tried finding drivers on hps website but wasn't showing an option for windows 11 there. I also went to the power plan setting in control panel and changed from hp recommended to balanced.
Probably missed writing 1 or 2 steps here cuz I forgot them. I added a pic of the new performance stats in my comment.
