I have a couple quick suggestions as far as software. After this, I leave you in the more than capable hands of Pyro.
The first thing that we will do is download
Junkware Removal Tool by Malwarebytes. Save it to your desktop run as admin, this is an outdated crapware removal tool, it will remove some junk but most important, this will create a restore point. I do not need to see the log from this, if you want to go back to before any of these steps you will have a restore point created....
Download and run
StartUpLite
Uninstall the two programs below. Bonjour isn't needed, and Mcafee is known to slow things down, all you really need is defender.
Bonjour
Mcafee
Run the
Mcafee removal tool as well.
Download
easy service optmizer, save it to your desktop and unzip it there. Right click it and run as admin, then select
Tweaked at the bottom. Then click on the rocket, this will turn off a lot of useless items.
You will however need to change one setting. Right Click on Wlansvc — WLAN AutoConfig, then select start service, the edit service. Make sure it is automatic across the board, as per the picture.
Disable windows 10 spyware with
O&O software, this can chew up bandwidth while you game as microsoft is constantly uploading various data from your machine.
Disable windows update, and only enable it once a week to update on your terms not whenever microsoft feels you need an update.
Open a notepad and copy the content of the code box below, paste into open notepad and save it to your desktop as clean.bat then right click on clean.bat and run as admin.
Note: Do not copy the word code.
Note: This batch will reboot your machine so close anything you are working on and save it. The firewall commands are only to be ran if you remove Mcafee, if you choose to keep it then delete the first two lines after @echo off.
Code:
@echo off
netsh advfirewall reset
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state On
wmic nicconfig where (IPEnabled=TRUE) call SetDNSServerSearchOrder ("76.76.19.19", "8.8.4.4")
