[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10

[Saber Razmjooei]

It's been said a lot and often gets dismissed by users (similar to have you
turn off and on your computer), but most of the issues can be resolved by:
1- Start your QGIS 3, with a clean profile.
2- Remove/disable all 3rd party plugins

If all fails, report the bug with a sample data and step-by-step to
reproduce the issue.

Regards
Saber
