Distressed and worried their computer was never going to work properly again!
A Client called us reporting that their computer had become "extremely slow" and was taking over 15 minutes to open emails.
IT Support case:
Our client over the phone was explaining that the computer for a few days has been running really slowly and opening emails became a nightmare.
After remote accessing, checking the system, reviewing applications, we discovered the issue...
They had 127 browser tabs open across 3 different windows, including a weather forecast from 2024 and "how to boil an egg" google search.
Once the unnecessary tabs were closed and a few startup programs were cleaned up, the computer was back to running normally.
Did you know?
Leaving multiple browser tabs open can consume significant memory and impact performance, especially on older devices.
