Here’s what helped:

1. Check for Updates: Ensure your BIOS, drivers, and Windows are all up to date.
2. Clean the Vents: Dust can cause overheating. Use compressed air to clean the vents.
3. Manage Startup Programs: Disable unnecessary startup programs via Task Manager.
4. Power Settings: Adjust power settings to Balanced or Power Saver mode.
5. Battery Health: Check battery health in BIOS or Dell SupportAssist; it might need replacement.

These steps improved my laptop’s performance significantly. Hope this helps!
