You have asked for help and told us nothing about your computer.
Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

NB Nothing in the report can be used to hack your computer

Note: This batch file will restart your machine.
Disabling Searchhost.exe could possibly disable the start menu:
Replace with OpenShell
Searches will still take place on the machine that will not be affected, telemetry search app will however be disabled.

Please download the file PrivWindozeLite.exe and place it on your desktop.

Important: Ensure that you save all your current work, as this script will attempt to close all non-essential processes during its scan, including the web browser you are using to read this message.
[ul]
[li]Right-click on PrivWindozeLite.exe and select “Run as administrator” from the context menu.[/li][li]When the tool launches, you may be prompted again to save your work before proceeding.[/li][li]If the scan does not start automatically, press any key on your keyboard to initiate it.[/li][li]The script will try to create a System Restore point and will go through several stages of scanning. Please be patient during this process.[/li][li]Don’t worry if Windows Explorer closes; it will reopen once the scan is complete. This process typically takes just a few minutes.[/li][li]After the scan is done, the command prompt window will close automatically after 5 seconds, and you should find a log file named PrivWindoze.txt on your desktop.[/li][li]Please copy or attach the contents of PrivWindoze.txt in your next response.[/li][/ul]

Reboot the machine and test:

Once done with the above.

To free up resources when you want on demand:

Download KillEmAll
Download Reduce Memory

Unzip them both to your desktop.
Right click an empty space on your desktop
Create a new folder
Name it [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]tools

Drag KillEmAll.exe & ReduceMemory_x64.exe
Into the new folder named[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)] tools
Right Click desktop create new text document.
right click rename it KillEmAll_Allowed.txt

Then open command prompt >>>>>>>>
tasklist > “%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\tasklist.txt”
Here you will find the short command for your browser for example firefox.exe
Paste firefox.exe into KillEmAll_Allowed.txt
Save it drop it in the tools folder.
Kill Em all will not stop any process that is listed in Killemall_Allowed, the processes must be added here one per line.

---

Now create a batch file.

Open a notepad and copy the entire content of the code box below.
Do not copy the word code!
Paste the txt into the notepad. Save the file to your desktop as kill.bat
Now you will right click the on kill.bat and run as administrator.

[ICODE]@echo off %userprofile%\Documents\tools\KillEmAll.exe /auto %userprofile%\Documents\tools\ReduceMemory_x64.exe /O exit[/ICODE]
Drag Kill.bat to the tools folder.

Now drag the tools folder to your documents folder.

[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]tools should contain: ( Kill.bat — KillEmAll_Allowed.txt — KillEmAll.exe — ReduceMemory_x64.exe )

Last you will create one final batch file:
This will add the ability to run this batch file to your right click menu
You can after following these steps, right click on a blank space on your desktop
Then select run kill batch
This will execute killemall and it will kill all processess except your browser in my case firefox.exe
or you can add whatever you want to the KillEmAll_Allowed.txt to not be stopped when running the kil batch file,
Reducememory will free up the memory of the programs that were killed.

Open a notepad and copy the entire content of the code box below.
Do not copy the word code!
Paste the txt into the notepad. Save the file to your desktop as Addtorightclick.bat
Now you will right click the on Addtorightclick.bat and run as administrator.

[ICODE]@echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion SET KILL_BATCH_PATH="%USERPROFILE%\Documents\tools\kil l.bat" SET KEY="HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\ KillBatch" SET COMMAND="HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\sh ell\KillBatch\command" reg add %KEY% /t REG_SZ /d "Run Kill Batch" /f reg add %COMMAND% /t REG_SZ /d "!KILL_BATCH_PATH!" /f taskkill /f /im explorer.exe start explorer.exe exit /b [/ICODE]
That is it, you can now right click an empty space on your desktop and run the kill batch, this will free up resources on demand[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

@Danknoob I’m curious how this played out, do you still need help? Games running better, or need help creating the kill batch?
