New Laptop, Old Performance

[BSula99]

Hey guys,

 

So I recently purchased the MSI Prestige 15 4k laptop. With 16GB DDR4, an i7 CPU, 500GB SSD, and 1650 GPU, I would expect it to be blazing through menial tasks. But even with basic functions such as internet browsing and word processing, it seems sluggish at best, with continuous lagging and general unresponsiveness. I've had it less than two months, and this issue started up within the past two weeks. No new software to note, cleaned what bloatware there was from the system, fully updated everything, but the problem persists. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would note, per task manager, usage in any given category never exceeds 50%.
