Question I can't boot up my PC. And if I do almost everything is ”Not Responding”

[Carter McGee]

My computer has been working fine from the time I built it (1 week ago) until today. It posts but it doesn't load up to where I sign in. I would then go into the boot setting and will not change anything and will just click save and restart. After 5 min of waiting it then loads up to where I then sign in. Another 2 min go by and then all of my shortcuts pop up which is not normal. They are all usually loaded. When I try to open up anything else for example ”File Explorer” it pops up the window and says working on it” After a couple minutes go by it says ”Not responding” turns my whole screen black then closes the window, reloads the wallpaper and shortcuts. Then when I try to open a game it says I need to reinstall it. So I went into settings to see my storage and only my 120gb SSD pops up and not my 1TB HDD. Please help!

Try reinstalling your OS.

Was this a fresh install of Windows?

What does that mean? I used Microsofts website (media creation tool) and put it on a USB flash drive

A lot of times people simply slap their old OS install drive into their new builds and frequently, it results in a lot of odd symptoms like this.

I tried doing this but I did not have enough disk space to do this. I can't go in and deleted stuff either because of what is going on

So in that case yes it is fresh

You seem to be booting in corrupt OS. Try reinstalling fresh Windows and share the results.

I'm quite confused now. So, is your current windows a full, fresh installation or isn't it? You suggest that it is, but then you ask what it is after that. It's hard to give good advice when the status of your PC is this unclear.

Ok so I reinstalled a fresh version of Windows but it is still super slow and some applications are also very slow. It takes at least 5 min to fully boot up Windows and another 5 just to open something like Disk Management which I have been trying to get into to see if my HDD is working. Also my shortcuts still take a minute to load. No crashing applications though.
