Windows slows down after 24 hours

[amnmaddox]

Hello all. I have a reoccurring issue that's bugging the heck out of me. I just completed a new build a week or so ago. I decided to make the jump from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. I have loaded minimal programs as I usually try to test the performance waters so to speak. Ive noticed the past few mornings, that after approximately 24-36 hours of the PC being on, Windows 10 comes to a crawl. The mouse cursor is jumpy. My audio has a static 'crackle'. Programs which, usually instantly load, take up to 30 seconds to pop up. I looked at my performance monitor, and there isn't a ton of CPU, RAM or GPU usage. Its kinda odd. Its almost as if something is building up to the point of bogging down my system. As I said before, this is a pretty vanilla install of Windows 10. Ive run the recommended updates on the system and I have installed a few Programs which doesn't seem to have an effect on the system except the issue described above. Anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else seen this?

System Specs:
Gigabyte Z370 Gaming MOBO/ i7 8700k/ Corsair Cooling / 16gb DDR4 3100 Ram
Windows 10 PRO on ScanDisk 24ogb SSD
EVGA GTX 1070Ti

The latest couple of versions of Firefox have similar effects on my laptop. I surmize it's setting up some exit that get entered very often. If you're running Firefox when this happens, try canceling it and see if it makes a difference.

Ive tried canceling Firefox (I had that issue in Win7 as well), but most of the time, the system is just idle. The last few times, there were no open programs at all including any browsers.
