Hey, this has happened to me before, where my pc performance goes like 20x slower (it literally took me 20 minutes to boot up my PC today ) and I have random BSODs (Critical Process Died and Unexpected Store Exception), I've only gotten 1 dump file which I just finally got so I'm making forum post). Last time I had to reinstall windows 10, but I really don't want to do that again because I was stuck in a bootloop for 3 days and my xbox wireless adapter and my nvidia drivers screwed up very badly and took me a month to fix it, I don't even know what I did to fix my xbox wireless adapter).

Things you can do:

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, and informational events that you can relate to the slowness.

Also look in Resource Monitor and Task Manager (use just one at a time) when the system is slow to determine what system resources are being used, to what extent (%), and what is using any given resource.

Disk drives: make, model, capacity, how full?

Run "sfc /scannow" and "dism" to find and fix corrupted files.

Clean out dust and debris

Verify by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, and jumpers are fully and firmly in place.

If you are not comfortable doing the above on your own then find a knowledgeable family member or friend to help.

Hey thanks for all the suggestions, really appreciate it, I'm not good with PCs and so I will be getting a friend of mine over to help, but I have already cleaned out my PC using compressed air and cotton tips, I know my PSU is an EVGA 500w, cannot check model right now, I have one disk drive, like before am not able to check, it's 1tb with 270gb free, task manager looks like normal, no process in particular that's using a lot of disk usage or anything, not sure how to analyse reliability history and event viewer, but I got some hardware errors around the time this started and I'm running the commands you told me to as I speak.

based on error codes, I would look at C drive. Make/model helps as most companies who make them have testing software.

20 minutes to boot? so I assume its a hdd and not ssd.

Unexpected Store Exception - the store is used by virtual memory to track location of files. Files either in page file or ram
Critical Process - Only happens to Microsoft processes, but can be a number of them so hard to pin point. Can be boot files. Might not be.
