There is not a single answer to this question as usually there are a cluster of things that lead to the slowdown performance of a PC or laptop.
The very first cause of this reduction in speed can be the start-up programs that you might have set up to open automatically with the starting of the Windows. Various kinds of media players, office files and messenger programs can cause the PC or laptop to slowdown. In such cases start-up seems to consume plenty of time and even affects the overall efficiency of your machine.
Downloads can be another potential cause that can contribute to the reduced speed of your PC or laptop. There are countless types of software that can be downloaded without even paying a single dime. These include games, calendars, office products, utility suites and many more things that can lure people. Very few people know that apart from consuming free space from the hard drive these downloads also require some of the virtual memory for running perfectly. Such consumption affects the overall performance of your machine and slows it down. Secondly these downloads are usually accompanied by spyware, adware, Trojan horses and other malicious programs. This can be one of the major causes for the dwindling speed of your PC or laptop.
The speed of you machine also suffers in case you do not clear your recycle bin regularly. Whenever you delete files they are immediately thrown into the recycle bin. Even though these files have been deleted by you but they still occupy some space and hinder the performance of your machine significantly. Too much of internet surfing can also result in the decrease of speed and the chances of slowdown elevate in case you do not delete "temporary internet files" on a regular basis.
In fact these are many more things that can hinder your computer from performing effectively. But an old adage says that "There is a solution to every problem", hence all you need to do is to find the right kind of solutions to tackle this problem.
