The first recommendation is the best one ... antimalware bytes should help you uncover any malicious things slowing you down. You can run this in addition to having your regular antivirus checker as it is safe to do so. if you get no results tho...

Check your task manager and view processes...check to see if there is one that is consuming a lot of resources (or perhaps you have too many programs starting on boot and so want to use msconfig to stop a few unnecessary ones). If there is, uninstall the program it is related to. It may be some kinda crapware you downloaded inadvertently with a program you downloaded and wanted. Or, it may be frequent anti virus checks bogging you down. Checking your event viewer might give you some clues on hardware or software errors bogging you down. And finally.. use a hardware monitor ...or check your bios hardware monitor ... to look for heat issues. your cpu or video card might be throttling back to preserve system.
