Just took a quick look at Speccy and noticed that you have two AV programs installed and running, this may or may may not be the cause but it will definitely cause problems of various sorts and can actually leave you with no protection if they cancel each other out.
Are you aware that Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 have an updated version of Windows Defender that offers the same real time protection as Microsoft Security Essentials, you do not need third party AV protection and by not installing any you are reducing the possibility of potential conflicts and freeing up resources on your computer.
Windows Defender
Windows Defender: Enabled
Firewall
Firewall: Enabled
Display Name: McAfee Firewall
Antivirus
Windows Defender
Antivirus: Enabled
Virus Signature Database: Up to date
McAfee VirusScan
Antivirus: Disabled
Virus Signature Database: Up to date
Is McAfee a paid for product or free/trial version.
Will go back to Speccy while we wait on your update.
NB: Deleted your duplicate reply that quoted my reply #2, no need to quote replies unless it is to emphasise something, less work for you to do and less for me to read as well
Edit to add, can I ask why you have the Maxthon browser installed, really not the best tbh and less than stable according to users reviews over at MicrosoftComment

Polite reminder, please do not quote every reply, it really is not necessary.
Problem with having multiple AVs installed is they can be a pain in the proverbial to get rid of and will most often leave orphan files behind that cause no end of grief, use the proper MCPR tool which you will find here
The most likely cause of your problems;
Partition 3
Partition ID: Disk #0, Partition #3
Disk Letter: C:
File System: NTFS
Volume Serial Number: 4806F64D
Size: 905 GB
Used Space: 836 GB (92%)
Free Space: 68 GB (8%)
In order to avoid data corruption and/or mechanical HDD failure for you must always have a minimum of 20 to 25% of the HDDs or partitions overall storage capacity available as free space where Windows is installed and between 10 and 15% of a HDDs overall storage capacity available as free space if there is data only on it, the free space allows for information to be copied to and from the drive efficiently particularily important for Windows file swapping and the installation of OS and AV updates.
Not having the above can render a computer inoperable if the HDD concerned has the OS on it due to the MBR (Master Boot Record) becoming damaged/corrupt, please see information here and hereComment

I used MCPR and deleted a few games.Comment

Ideally you should keep around 225GB of free space on the C: partition and definitely not go below 200GB, this one good reason why Windows should always either be on it`s own boot drive such as a 256GB SSD or on a 256GB partition on a 1TB HDD, another good reason is because running out of free storage space stops Windows from updating which puts you at risk of malware attack and finally an appropriately sized C: partition is easier/quicker to back up.Comment
