Hello everyone. As the title states, I'm getting pretty desperate. Before continuing I'll post my specs
-Windows 10 Home
-Watercooled 8700k, steady 40°C temps
-16GB TridentZ 3200MHz
-850EVO 500GB SSD with OS and most programs installed
-ASUS STRIX Z370F
-GeForce GTX 980ti
A couple days ago I swapped my mobo CPU and RAM with a Z370-F, 8700k and 16gigs of ram. I reset windows, reinstalled my programs and noticed that they were opening really slowly, like 20 seconds to open chrome or task manager. I tried loads of things and I don't even remember most of them, but from the top of my head:
-Checked SSD health with CrystalDisk and Samsung Magician (https://imgur.com/a/BSH5hVF) The read speeds are kinda slow but I don't think that's the problem.
-Scanned for viruses with Malwarebytes
-Updated BIOS
-Reinstalled GPU drivers
-Defragged my HDDs
-Checked for processes using excessive resources and noticed that Client Server Runtime Process started using more CPU when opening programs but for all I know that could be normal
-Installed Chipset and Intel Rapid Storage drivers. This actually really improved my performance and now in Device Manager instead of standard SATA AHCI controller it lists Intel 300 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (is that how it should be?). After installing these drivers shut down and reboot times were normal and all programs opened instantly, but at some point the pc started being extremely slow again, and the only thing I can remember opening is Steam.
This leads me to think that it's caused by a stuck process (especially the 5 minutes shut down times), but how can I check? Even now, after a restart that took around 5 minutes everything seems to be working fine, but I'm posting anyway in case it starts being slow again.
Also noticed a couple strange things: https://imgur.com/a/Mfja7KU but again, I have no idea if they're normal or what.
