Random hangs on Windows 10

[EvanAbagail]

I currently have 3 desktops with Windows 10 installed and none of them have this issue. This happens on my rather new laptop. Basically, when I start something such as Windows Explorer(this also happens when I load something into paint - mspaint).

Basically, it hangs my whole laptop for around 25 seconds to 2(or even more sometimes) minutes. This didn't happen in Windows 8.1 and didn't happen right away when I got Windows 10, it just started randomly happening.

I've been suggested to do a couple of things including:
- Enabling multi-processors(I am currently running on 4)
- Reduce the timeout limit from 30 to 15.

Thanks,
Evan

If anyone is still wondering, the issue didn't happen on a newly created user(not sure if it was caused by the upgrade or what, it didn't start happening directly after the upgrade).
