1 Identify the cause

The first step to handle customer complaints about slow computer performance is to identify the cause of the problem. There are many possible factors that can affect a computer's speed, such as hardware issues, software issues, malware infections, network problems, or user habits. You need to diagnose the computer and determine what is causing the slowdown. You can use various tools and methods to do this, such as checking the system resources, running scans, testing the network, or asking the customer about their usage patterns.

One thing that can help isolate the problem is gathering information about the activities that occured prior to the problem occurring, if it has been a common thing or it's being triggered with certain actions.

I would start by taking a look at the applications currently in use and try to have the End User replicate the issue, as they might be confusing a slow computer for slow internet speed. If they're rendering objects or images in applications that consume a lot of resources and this is something they regularly do, they may be in need of an upgrade. If it's not obvious what the cause is, proceed with taking a look at the resources being used in Task Manager to see what's consuming resources. Determine if this is network or hardware or application related.

I will check the disk size to see if it has enough space. I may run disk cleanup utility tool. In case of network issues I will run the network loop back to check for connectivity

2 Explain the solution

The second step to handle customer complaints about slow computer performance is to explain the solution to the customer. You need to communicate clearly and politely what you can do to improve the computer's speed and what the customer can expect from the service. You should also explain the costs and time involved, and any risks or limitations that may apply. You can use simple and non-technical language, and provide examples or analogies to make the solution easier to understand.

A technique I use when explaining to a non-technical person about what's happening to their computer is to equate the parts of a computer to something that they're familiar with. I will equate the CPU with the human heart (the higher the frequency, the more work in a short amount of time the CPU can perform), or a hard drive as similar to a human brain ( how it stores data in a way that it can be retrieved quickly for use, and how that data can be damaged or destroyed if something happens to the hard drive). This allows the user to understand what is going on when giving a diagnosis of a computer problem.

3 Manage expectations

The third step to handle customer complaints about slow computer performance is to manage their expectations. You need to be realistic and honest about what you can achieve and how long it will take. You should not promise or guarantee results that you cannot deliver, or overestimate your abilities or skills. You should also avoid making excuses or blaming others for the problem. You can set clear and reasonable expectations by providing estimates, updates, and feedback throughout the service.

Find out how important repairing the computer is for the user. How time sensitive is the situation? Is there data that must be recovered that cannot be replaced? What is the turnaround time for ordering and repairing the machine? What are the costs going to be to the customer? What is the worst case scenario in the customer's circumstance? Do you have lender equipment that the customer can use while their equipment is being repaired? Being able to cover as many bases as possible to make the customer whole goes a long way to building a business relationship and proving your professionalism.

4 Offer alternatives

The fourth step to handle customer complaints about slow computer performance is to offer alternatives to the customer. Sometimes, the solution you propose may not be satisfactory or feasible for the customer, either because of their budget, preferences, or needs. In that case, you can suggest other options that may suit them better, such as upgrading their hardware, switching to a different software, or using a cloud service. You can explain the pros and cons of each alternative, and let the customer decide what they want to do.

End users do like to have possible alternatives available and when they are explained clearly it definitely helps the end users make a sound decision.

You can use this step to ensure customer satisfaction and loyalty, and to ask for referrals or reviews.
