My Windows 10 Very Slow, low RAM Computer
My aging, low-RAM Windows 10 computer has become unbearably slow, and I suspect the issue is tied to a second Windows Update that has failed to install properly. Every time I try to update the system, the process stalls or errors out, leaving my machine sluggish and barely usable for basic tasks.

Since RAM is low, close unnecessary programs and background processes. Consider disabling startup apps via Task Manager to free resources.
This constant background activity saturates your hard drive and consumes RAM, leaving little resources for your basic tasks.
Open Task Manager > Startup tab and disable anything unnecessary.
Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter – Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Update and run the troubleshooter
