I can't tell much about the system with just the above information, but your CPU model i5-7200U reminds me of a laptop of mine with the same CPU/GPU that was also very slow for many months. I can't remember what fixed my laptop, but it seems to be working in Ubuntu 18.10 now.
Can you please run this command to collect a full system log: journalctl -b > journal.log and this command to collect the kernel log: dmesg > dmesg.log and attach both files here? ** Tags added: performance ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799131 Title: takes too much time for apps to load, also many apps freeze all the time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1799131/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
