Apps have random delay

[Loskyll]

Hello everyone,
I hope I can get some help here because it gets more and more frustrating to deal with it.

The issue is the following:
When I have an app open, lets say Spotify, you can hover over it and you see a small image of it coming out of the symbol on your taskbar. That has a delay at times as well as opening an app when clicking on it (when it is already opened and you want to reopen it after minimizing it for example). The delay doesnt happen every time I do that, it gets more frequent the longer the PC is running (that might be false but it feels like that). The delay is up to 10 seconds at times which is unbearable.

Here are my specs:
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
Installiert am 09.12.2021
Betriebssystembuild 19045.5131
Leistung Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

Geräte-ID 8F5CB67B-308E-42F4-886C-B6201412B4D7
Produkt-ID 00330-51668-81937-AAOEM
Systemtyp 64-Bit-Betriebssystem, x64-basierter Prozessor

I use two SSD harddrives

Can anyone help here?

Can you attach the minitoolbox log.

You mean the little app by Farbar? Which settings do you need?

Yes let me know how it goes, here is a little app I made that will allow you to disable startups.
Unzip to desktop.
Right Click and run as admin.
Click list startups.
Then go thru and right click and disable any item that you feel that does not need to start with the machine every time you boot.
This can free up resources since your ram usage is almost maxed out.
You will need to make a reboot after disabling the items.
They can always be started manually, by you at any time. (y)
