This has been an ongoing issue but it does seem to be getting worse and more consistent in recent weeks. Its especially an issue now that I have to work from home (I havent been using my PC much in recent months). Everything is slow. At first I thought it was just the internet, but all other devices are fine (phones on the wifi and my PS4 which is also hardwired never have issues). Now I notice even programs open slowly. Firefox tabs lag to load consistently, startup is slow, even the windows screen that pops up asking you to confirm you want a program to make changes when uninstalling something takes a min or two from the time I hit unintsall to the time it comes up, I hit yes, and it actually opens the programs uninstaller.
I have a Samsung SSD, my pc is custom built with a FX-8350 cpu and a GTX 1660 gpu. I'm trying to use the samsung magician software to check my SSD, but that has been trying to check the drive for an hour now. I also have a secondary SSD (also samsung) for storage and a 1tb HDD. 64 bit windows 10 and 16GB of ram.
The weird thing is I dont notice much of an issue once I get a game launched for as long as I am in the game. Web browsing is a pain because firefox randomly locks up. Both firefox and steam seem to do that and when they lock up the whole computer does until its resolved. I've tried crome and edge as well and they dont seem to function any better. At this point my best guess is that maybe my motherboard is having issues but I have no idea how to confirm that that is the case.
