Why is my laptop running slow?

This is my personal experience, I was having trouble with my laptop, it was unusual that my laptop loading so slow. Previous day I did review on some PC games, and the next day my laptop started to load in slow motion. Wherever I open any program, it’s loading very slowly.

I was using Windows OS, so I open task manager, look at the performance tab found unusual, the CPU usage little bit up, the PF usage also slightly up, then I checked processes tab found more image name running, I believe that came from recent games. However according to the information on task manager system was normal. Then I decided to check the hard disk, I used program Test My Hardware, you can download here, its freeware. 

The outcome was hard disk look fine. So I did disk defragmenter, just make sure that the trouble is not from hard disk. Then I removed all games from my laptop. When I try to load the system again, it run the same very slow. I didn’t think that some kind of viruses or malware, so I did virus scan, I used the trusted antivirus, the result as I expect before no viruses found.

I finally formatted the drive, installed window again. Then everything back to normal. The problem solved, but what was the cause of the trouble? I believe that from the recent installed games, because again I had the same trouble when I installed those games once more. Some games are not perfectly made, there are called “bugs”, when we try to uninstall, still some part of the program left. In order to avoid time consumed during reinstalling software, I manage multiple OS on my laptop, and use one system special for games purpose.
