After using my computer for around 30 minutes, it starts to lag terribly. The cursor moves slowly, the sound becomes “slow-mo” and static, and the overall response time of the computer lags behind. The problem has happened a few times before, once when i plugged my speaker’s cord into the wrong outlet on the computer, but once I removed it, everything was working fine; and there was a few others times this week but after a reboot, everything returned to normal. However, today, no matter how many times I reset, the problem persists. Also, I have been using this computer for around a year now, maybe 2.
I have tried Startup repair, system restore to a previous date (which did not work and it gave me an error message "System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer’s system files and settings were not changed), and I scanned my hard drives to no avail. Since the problem popped up this past week, I decided to uninstall any applications that were updated/installed over this period, which included: Microsoft Office Outlook and Dropbox. Additionally, looking through Windows Update history, two updates were installed yesterday and today:
Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.263.1728.0)
Installation date: 3/30/2018 12:09 PM
Installation status: Successful
Update type: Important
Definition Update for Microsoft Security Essentials - KB2310138 (Definition 1.263.1856.0)
Installation date: 3/31/2018 4:36 PM
Installation status: Successful
Update type: Optional

Please help. Thank you.
