Dell's Soup N... (or No Google for You!)
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Maybe I resent being told what programs to (must) use, which is why I own no Apple products, but I could not reset the default browser, transfer my VPN or get rid of the bloat-wear. Not only could I not do this, the Geek Squad couldn't do it, either. And the battery life was shorter than .. well many things that one would prefer to not be very short. Left it there and took home a Samsung.

Posted .Hello Valued Customer,
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review. We apologize for the issues you have come across with your Dell Inspiron 3511 computer because it is running slow, it is overheating and suddenly freezes. We understand how frustrating this could be.
Below I have provided the steps to run the Windows Performance Troubleshooter to help resolve the performance problem. I have also included the full article link, which has more options if they are needed.
To help with the overheating issue, we recommend making sure your BIOS is up to date. I have provided a link to the Drivers and Downloads page for your PC so you can check for and do applicable updates. Dell has also released an Intel Power Management Utility to help with the overheating that you may be experiencing on your computer. For this package to take effect, the system power plan must be set to Balanced under the Additional Power Settings. Also, the Power Mode option that is displayed when you click the battery icon, should be set to Better Performance. This package only takes effect on AC power and not on battery power. The Intel Power Management Utility can be found here - http://dell.to/3tStRgX
Windows performance Troubleshooter:
1. Close all open windows.
2. Press the Windows logo key + X key on the keyboard.
3. Click Control Panel.
4. Click System and Security.
5. Under Security and Maintenance, select Troubleshoot common problems.
6. Under System and Security, click Run maintenance tasks.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions and prompts to complete the process.
8. Restart the PC.
You can read the full article here - http://dell.to/2tSulGV
Drivers and Downloads page: https://dell.to/3hLXbku
To help with sudden freezing issues, please apply these troubleshooting steps:
1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Pre-boot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA
2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below:
a) Start the computer.
b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter.
d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access.
e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete step 3 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups or freezing.
3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can definitely cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI
