That sounds really frustrating. If the usual stuff didn’t help, I’d definitely check Task Manager to see if something is constantly using a lot of CPU, memory, or disk. Also, if your PC still has a traditional hard drive instead of an SSD, Windows 10 can feel painfully slow over time. Disabling unnecessary startup apps and making sure Windows/drivers are fully updated can help too. If it keeps happening, it might even be a hardware issue starting to show.
