    Hi Anil Pakale,

    I understand how inconvenient it can be when a Surface Laptop responds slowly despite having strong hardware specifications. Since the description is quite brief, could you please share a few more details so we can better understand what is happening?

    • What is the exact Surface Laptop model and Windows version/build?
    • Is the entire device slow, or does this happen only in a specific app or task?
    • What do you mean by “slow response,” such as delayed typing, apps taking a long time to open, freezing, slow startup, or mouse/touchpad lag?
    • Did the issue begin after a Windows update, driver update, or new application was installed?
    • When the slowdown occurs, does Task Manager show unusually high CPU, Memory, or Disk usage?
    • Does the behavior occur both while plugged in and while running on battery?

    Please do not include the device serial number or other personal information in your public reply. Once these details are available, it will be easier to suggest the most relevant next steps. Thank you so much for your understanding.
