Ok, so when I woke up this morning I headed over to my PC to do some work involving Photoshop, the pc booted up fine and fast as normal however I noticed 2 second delays when using the brush tool something that never used to happen. I thought this may of been the result of too many processes so I headed to task manager cleared some unnecessary processes yet the problem was still there. I then thought I'd test the gaming performance, so I went and started Rocket League a game I can usually run on the highest settings at 60-80FPS, however I instantly noticed clear frame drops to around 40FPS, I was forced to lower my settings to the minimum for smooth performance. After this I went and did a virus scan which returned nothing of importance. I then checked my CPU temperatures, again these were normal (22C). FInally I ran a disk error check which yielded to have 0 impact on my problem. I'd appreciate any help I can get with my issue.

(EDIT: I did go on a massive deleting spree yesterday clearing what I believe to be unnecessary files but I do not if it is possible that I might of deleted a file that affects the performance)

Yeah, but it tends to work the second time. I had this happen on my laptop. An update "installed" and the entire system crawled along after reboot. I did a windows reset and it did all the updates without a problem. It doesn't happen to all users and doesn't happen with all updates but when it does happen it results in a system slow down which no one has found a good solution for other than run a reset.

windows 10 has some serious problems with their updates. I think a lot of it has to do with the frequency of minor updates. They aren't being tested well enough or broadly enough or long enough. Hell, my desktop PC has been trying to install the creators update for months. It fails to install every time. But from what I've heard the CU is a piece of garbage too so I'm not about to fix that problem.
