Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your desktop, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

- System Slowdown: Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check for malware or viruses using reputable antivirus software. Ensure there is sufficient free space on your hard drive. Consider updating drivers for your components.
