I got a PC a few months ago, at first everything was fine but about two weeks ago i started noticing that the perfomance of several browsers is slow, in the sense that when i scroll i noticed some kind of lag, like im scrolling down and the scroll stops for a second before continuning, o when i stop and scroll up after being scrolling down the same happens, and is very annoying, other applications like virtual machines or highend games like Doom Eternal, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Read Dead Redemption 2 run smooth without problems. I had the same problem with office programs but it was fixed after i disabled the hardware acceleration, but for edge, the browser i regular use, it also disable yet the problem persist. i have tried the following
  1. i have defraggled my hard drive with my os partition having 3% fragmentation, (the partititon edge is on)
  2. i runned a virus scan (avast) and nothing was found,
  3. i runned sfc /scannow but still the same
  4. i reinstalled the gpu drivers but no luck (clean install option on nvidia installer
  5. windows is up to date
i think the problem started after a restart with update installation, but im not sure

I also must note that the problem started happening after installing my current gpu and power supply, but i dont remember if the problem started inmediatly after that, but before i have a regular gtx 1060 and evga 700 bronze i everything was fine.

Try opening a command prompt with administrator privileges then type
DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Sfc/ scannow only verifies the actual system files necessary for windows, DISM checks all of windows against an authorized Microsoft image, which can take a minute or three, so may seem to get stuck, but isn't.

Antivirus and Anti-Malware are related, but not the same thing. Virus wants to destroy your code, malware/Trojan does not, it wants to tell everyone everything you do. So a simple AV scan may come up clean, but not pick up on a Trojan making 1000 website links when you open your browser and start surfing. Use Malwarebytes or similar in conjunction with an AV to catch both.

i executed
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

and the command reported no corruption, because of that i didt do any further DISM commands
