When opening applications Win 10 gets extremely slow, and when the application starts it goes back to normal

Hi, I am having an issue with Win 10 that was also an issue in Win 8.1.
Basically whenever I try to open games I want to play, my whole computer will slow down. My mouse will act drunk, and all of the windows explorer stuff will take a while to actually open, but as soon as the application actually opens the issue goes away.
I am also monitoring my computer usage during this time, and my computer never maxes out.
SPECS:
AMD 9590
16 GB RAM
295x2

If this issue carried over from Windows 8.1, you may want to try performing a clean installation of Windows instead, which should resolve any driver- or software-related issues you may be having. I recommend a clean install over anything else because the source of the problem may now be difficult to determine, as you have already upgraded.

Download the Windows media creation tool here:

Use it to perform a "Custom" installation of Windows 10 on your drive without any loss of data.

I have already done this. It was a fun experience. 😛
I kinda fixed it but it comes back sometimes.
