Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 extremely slow after software update – no improvement after uninstall

[Members_oBbExaR]

Hi everyone,

I am using a Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 and recently installed a software update for Windows 11. Since then, the device has become extremely slow. Even simple tasks like opening folders, starting programms or typing in Word take a long time.

I already uninstalled the update, hoping the performance would go back to normal, but unfortunately there has been no noticeable improvement. At this point the laptop ist barely usable.

Has anyone eyperienced the same issue?

What options do I have to get the system running properly again?

Are there any known compatibility problems, or should I consider doing a full system reset?

I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.

I would consider the SSD, CPU and RAM to be adequate for Windows 11.

PCs have a plethora of reasons why performance can take a bit of a stall.

A couple I would recommend is to check your running processes and startup entries and adjust them accordingly, I pretty much leave most of my startup programs disabled.
See what processes are taking up your CPU/RAM/SSD and see if theres a bottleneck happening in one of these; if its not 100% it's not bottlenecked.

Secondly, check your power plan to see if you want it to perform at a limited capacity; things such as balanced or power saver can and will run the CPU at a reduced speed to preserve battery life, adjust accordingly to your needs.

Another thing to consider; what is your RAM and CPUs clock speed?

As it has an SSD, it does not need a 'defrag'; these perform TRIM on their own.

Also, there is a Powershell script on Github that disables telemetry and what one would consider bloat, this is completely customisable.

Alright, to clean up and speed up your Windows 11 laptop, start by fixing any messed-up system files: go to Start, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt, and choose Run as administrator. First, type sfc /scannow and hit Enter — it’ll scan and repair system files in about 10 minutes. If that doesn’t solve everything, run these DISM commands one by one: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, then CheckHealth, and finally RestoreHealth — each followed by Enter. This might take 10–20 minutes and uses Windows Update to patch deeper issues. When it’s done, run sfc /scannow again just to be safe. Next, to update all your apps in one go, type winget upgrade --all in the same admin CMD window — Windows will automatically grab the latest versions of supported apps. Finally, for drivers, head to Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates and install any driver updates you see. You can also use Device Manager to update drivers manually, or go the quick route with trusted tools like Driver Booster by IObit or Snappy Driver Installer, which scan your system and update everything for you. Just make sure to download them from the official websites and avoid any extra bundled software.


Also look into removing any bundle or bloatware

Remove temp files wisely

Lmk how it does

Research every CMD command for a better understanding. Also consider hardware upgrades.

Try do a a system restore with a system restore point. It should let you go back before-

While holding the shift key press the power button under the windows bar *not on the laptop* (press windows key, bottom right power key)
Press and hold shift and press "restart" you should then go into the blue recovery screen, click advanced- restore point- choose a date and wait.
