McAfee is gone but traces of Avast are still there and scheduled to update, you need to run the Avast Clear tool

Stopped: Avast Browser Update Service (avast)

We can also see in the new Speccy url that the CPU temp has dropped by almost 50 °C even though the second screen is shown to still be hooked up, there are traces of Malwarebytes present and you are using a Windows Power Plan that you should not be, Dell not only provides their own drivers they also have their own Power Plan and yours should be showing a Dell Balanced, how to set this correctly here

The power plan that you are using is intended for third party AMD devices that have unlocked CPUs and GPUs, these devices have drivers specifically written for them and among the functions that they do is drawing more power to allow them to overclock, only the Dell Alienware and other real high end Dell business machines use such drivers and your Dell BIOS being locked and the hardware Dell specific means that you 100% must only use drivers sourced directly from Dell.
 
thank you @phillpower2

i have uninstalled avast using the tool you mentioned and changed the power plan

i'll update you as to how things pan out

thanks very much for your help
