Question PC very slow all of a sudden (and many other issues)

[LW888]

I turned ON my PC today, as I usually do, and I noticed that it was very slow starting up, usually takes about 1 min and now took like 10 min. When it got to the desktop everything that opens automatically (steam, discord etc) was taking too long to load. Then I noticed weird stuff hapenning, for example my discord wasnt loading at all, a OneDrive error popped up three times (Onedrive - application error), Initially I couldnt start the task manager, but after a few tries I could, Everytime I browse anything on google it failed (some error that I dont remember). I tried to do a Windows Startup repair, it failed, tried to go into Safe Mode, deleted temp files and download a free scanner, but when pressed "download" nothing hapenned, I even tried to reset the PC fully, but guess what it failed to reset. I dont know what to do anymore, Anything you need to know to help me solve my issue I will respond. Also, I wrote this on my PS4 , because of these issues.

could be the hard drive itself since slow boot is often a sign its the drive.

Can you give us a parts list?

i would log into safe mode and copy anything off hdd you need to save

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB - its a handy boot drive

could see if PC is slow to boot off USB as well.

is it a custom made PC or brand name? if brand name, what make/model?

HP Pavilion 550-110np. I just know it has an I5, GTX 745, 8gb ram, 1T of disk space

need to make the installer USB so we can get past that blue screen

follow this up to step 6 so that it boots off the installer USB - https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04346420

now once it boots off the USB,
see if startup repair helps:
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose startup repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info

try running chkdsk on the hdd
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
type chkdsk c: /f /r and press enter

it might show 2 paragraphs, agree to running at startup and restart. It should run before windows does, you may have to hit space bar to get it to run.

First of all, thank you for helping me with this issue. Now the important part, Ive been trying to get the PC past that loading screen, and I got it, It seems kinda random, sometimes it does load and sometimes it doesnt, but everything is so slow to the point that I cant even use it anymore.

Replying to your tips, What does that win 10 installer USB does exactly? Is it like a Reset on my PC?
