Recently I was playing some game on my PC. My game then crashes and I do a hard restart since I couldn't open Task Manager to close the program. Keep in mind beforehand I was having no problems with speed issues on the Hard Drive or SSD. It was until I restarted where my restart took longer than usual, around 2-3 minutes. I then proceed to boot up and it takes 5 minutes to try to boot into the system. I get in and apps and what not are taking several minutes to load in and programs are extremely slow. I'm not sure If it's a Hard Drive issue, but I checked for bad sectors and what not and I am stuck to here now. Not sure If I should reinstall drivers or fully unplug the HDD itself and replug, but I came to ask here. EDIT: I'm also having when I open different apps they will freeze and crash, making games and other tasks not possible to use.
