So I got this desktop about a month ago. I did a fresh install and it has been working great.
Recently, I woke up turned computer on as normal and it was very slow. Everything lagged. Opening web pages, folders, video...even right clicking to open task manager.
I restored it to a few days prior. Worked fine again. No problems. Turn off computer that night.
Next day, today, I wake up again and turn it on and once again, it's noticeably slow. More usable, than before, but slow.
I assumed I got a virus, especially since I was only using Windows Defender. That detected no viruses. So I got AVG. Again, detects nothing.
I decide to restore again (to the same restore point as before, since that point fixed the problem before). This time, it's still slow. I download AVG again and restart. The lag is worse! So bad that the very cursor lags across the screen when moved. Can't really do anything anymore.
I am currently running a chkdsk /r on the command prompt from some recovery options offered through bios screen. So far nothing but it still has a few hours to go. After that, I will run sfc /scannow.
If neither of those work, I'll boot into safe mode and try to run avg (free edition) there and see if it detects anything.
This is just bizarre behavior. I am avoiding a reset as I have horrible internet it would take a week for me to download my steam games and set everything up to my preference. I literally just set this computer up late December!
Specs
Intel i5 6420 2.8Ghz
Windows 10
8GB ram
The CPU and DISK are 90-100%, oddly though, even when they drop from that to even as low as 30%, the sluggishness doesn't go away. When it does drop below those numbers, any little action, even so much as a right click sends it to max.
