What makes a computer clow to wake up from sleep mode? It’s a Dell Inspiron pc.

If the disk is FAT, yes. If NTFS, not necessary.

Perhaps the disc is getting phull.

SSD is amazing for performance - if you have an old spinning disk. 3 years ago I was gonna make work get me a new computer. Instead I installed an SSD and I still use it every day with no issues.

Max out your memory and install a SSD. New life blood for old laptops. (Typing on a "middle of the road", 10+ year old laptop with both of those upgrades.)

From the COMMAND prompt run PERFMON /RES

Here's an article on how to speed it up.

If your using a cloud backup, they are usually very resource heavy as well.

My Dell comes up in about 2 seconds from sleep but it has an SSD. Cold start is slow because of superfetch and virus checks but they don't run on sleep restart.

Did you us task manager to see what's hogging resources?

Windows as windows ages they slap patch on top of patch on top of patch on top of patch on top of patch.

A patch is like a band aid

Now imagine if you had band-aids on 30 deep.. you'd slowe down too.
