    This could be part of the problem.
    Exactly what did you remove
    Are you a student - you are running an education edition of windows 10.

    Without running the full edition updates canโ€™t do the job they are made for.
    Can I say 100% the full edition will fix the problem - NO
    But you are trying to use something that is not as it should be.
    Bloatware fro Microsoft should not be a big issue today with good ram and large drives.

    What is chkdsk Read this. Click On Me
    Download this and run Click On Me Standard Edition

      I will ask for another opinion just so you get a balanced view

        reboot the PC into Safe Mode and see how it performs?
        also create another login account and sign in using that new user profile, again, seeing how the PC performs.

        I certainly canโ€™t rule out a failing drive. disconnect the non-OS drive and see how things go.

        I could suggest running a whole bunch of system cleanup tools, but honestly, at this stage, Iโ€™d simply be biting the bullet, backing up all my personal stuff and nuking the rig from space - that is - complete fresh reload of Win10 from the latest Windows image burnt to a USB stick via the Windows Media Creation Tool.

        youโ€™ll get the rig back to how it was (speed wise) before all this, even a bit better as Windows will be pristine. but more so, if there is a drive failing, the reinstall process should highlight that fact.
        yes, youโ€™ll burn in hell for a few hours as you reload all your software, find passwords, and download and reload all the software you had, but itโ€™ll probably be a quicker process in the long run and a process with a better chance of success than applying band-aid solutions to an unknown, hard to pinpoint, issue.
