i have a 500gb hard disc and 64x windows 10 computer,my problem is that yesterday,somehow everything slowed down on my computer.(Loading youtube,mozilla etc.)

I restarted it,but it's gotten worse,some icons don't load and stay with the blank paper icon,the windows search bar is infinetly loading results,same with mozilla.The only thing i've downloaded beofre that is a ps3 emulator.(rpcs3.)Does anyone know how to fix this instead of  resetting/changing the hard disk?

What else slows down other than your browser? 

I don't know what i should do,because it seems like a virus to me.Here's an example.I click on my windows search bar in the left corner down and search settings.It keeps searching but it doesn't stop.It infinetly loads.Mozilla can't open links,sites,infinetly loading and my desktop icons are (1/3 of them) are blank paper looking.

I can't access video games,i can access viber,discord and steam(partially.)

if you have a virus run Windows Security and do a full scan, windows Defender Offline scan. If that doesn't work you could reinstall windows. 

 

To reinstall windows go to your windows setting > update & Security under this go to Recovery and select restart this pc "Get started button" but since this could be a problem just boot the USB installer if you have one.
