Is Windows 11 Experiencing High Instability Issues?

Hello, I previously encountered an issue with explorer.exe that was successfully resolved with the help of a forum. However, I am now facing a different and increasingly frustrating problem. Despite updating all drivers to the latest versions available on the HP website, my computer's performance remains subpar. Windows Explorer is sluggish, the task manager responds slowly, and the system experiences unusual bouts of heaviness. Even after running the SFC method to check system files, the issue persists. This performance decline also impacts gaming experience, depriving me of the desired level of gameplay.

Notably, the Desktop Window Manager and a background service called WMI Provider Host are constantly running, needlessly consuming CPU resources. This abnormal activity has been causing a strain on the system's performance. Strangely, this problem only arose after a recent formatting of the system.

I am seeking assistance to troubleshoot and resolve these issues. Any help provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Windows 11 can have numerous background processes running, which can hog CPU and RAM resources. This could slow down essential components like explorer.exe and the Task Manager.

    It will be more issues if the pc runs insider preview build. For stable version, less issue as far as I know.
