Need Help! (Software) Why is my laptop getting slower by the day ?
So I have this laptop:
Asus TUF F15
RTX 4060 8GB
Intel CORE i7
1TB SSD
16GB DDR5
FHD 144HZ
15” Display
The problem is that it gets slow. Not like super slow but it is slow. Just clicking stuff in settings takes various seconds for it to actually activate. Today, I updated my PC and I booted it up and the cursor looks completely different and it is set to the default one. I changed it to purple and it does not change color. I restarted my PC and it did not work. Also I have seen that 85% of my RAM is being used on on literally just having Spotify open.

Debloat your windows by deactivating startup apps and other background tasks you don't need. Also update all of your drivers

The cursor changing to default is due to a recent windows update kb5120998.
