I am wondering what is going on with my PC because when I first got it 2 months ago it was fast as can be but now it is slowing down. I have been making sure that both my CPU and GPU doesn't go over 60 degrees Celsius. So I don't know if it was something I downloaded or what but I am opening up to suggestions to make it go fast again. Here are my specs if that helps any -
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600
GPU - Asus GTX 1060 3gb
RAM - 16gb

or are you getting used to it?
do you have benchmarks that prove that the system is slow or is it the "feel" of using it that makes you think its slower?
whenever I think my system is slow I use my brothers for an hour and mine is again a speed demon.

I would open up an application like Spotify and it would be opened up in a few seconds and now it takes almost half a minute and whenever I start up my computer it stays on the bios screen for a good couple of minutes to get to the sign in screen and before it would take like 10-15 seconds to switch between screens.

program opening is slow? this is indicative of a hard drive issue. if the drive is slow loading windows would take a while too.
Try running some diagnostics on the hard drive, the manufacturer should have the software available on their website.
try changing the SATA cables and ports too.
