if its windows 10, or 11, some updates that are critical to smooth performance will not trigger automatically, go into settings, and manually check updates, let updates run with nothing else running, restart when needed, run updates again until nothing else is available. with windows 11, most critical updates will not run automatically, you need to go into windows update, and select advanced options, and complete the cumulative or pack updates manually.. note** your computer cannot go to sleep/hibernate, or be shut off durring these updates or the updates start all over again from 0..
most do not advise it but driver updates are crucial as well to a smooth running system. in dire circumstances, or if i get lazy i use iobit driver booster.. there is a free version available, however it will update most, leaving a few that you can typically search yourself, download and install from the manufacturers websites.
let me know how this goes?
also. an amazing utility to use is "Glary utilities" it finds a lot more than ccleaner will and it is less invasive ( wont trigger a false virus problem)
e/ can also msg me on disc if needed i believe we are on at least one common server?
This would be my suggestion as well, not the Glary utilities but the CMD prompt commands and the updates.
