Posted .The lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System, which should not freeze. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

When it comes to downloading, computer refuses to work. Can't load Google chrome or anything else not approved by Microsoft that is not in their store. Couldn't even load the remote download from Best Buy support. Never had this problem with a PC before. Disabled as much security as possible and still couldn't get it to work.
