In this scenario, I would suggest you to try repairing the Windows operating system. The System File Checker (SFC) is a utility in Windows that scans for corrupted system files. If SFC finds a problem, it tries to replace the problem files from a cached version on your computer. If System File Checker cannot replace the corrupt files, use the Deployment Image Service and Management Tool (DISM). DISM checks the corrupted files, then downloads and replaces the files through Windows Update.
Use the following instructions to run System File Checker.
In Windows, search for Command Prompt. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt, select Run as administrator, then click Yes.
In Command Prompt, type sfc /scannow. Make sure to include the space between sfc and the forward slash /.

Press Enter, then wait while System File Checker scans for corrupted files.
When the scan completes, the results display on the screen.
If the file checker found and replaced any corrupted files, restart the computer, then check the performance.
If the file checker did not find any corrupted files or found corrupted files but could not replace them, then go to the next step.
If System File Checker finds corrupted files but cannot replace them, use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. DISM checks the corrupted files, then downloads and replaces the files using Windows Update.
In Windows, open a web browser.
NOTE: You need to be connected to the Internet to use DISM.
In Windows, search for Command Prompt. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt, select Run as administrator, then click Yes.
In Command Prompt, type dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth. Make sure to include the space before each forward slash / in the command line.
Press Enter, then wait while DISM works. This might take several minutes.

- If DISM finds corrupted files, it replaces them using Windows Update. If this occurs, after DISM is finished, restart your computer and see if the performance has improved.
Let me know the outcome!
Cheers 🙂
