Go to solution Solved by xxboomstick,

Restarted pc early in the morning but when I tried to type my password the password box was slow to respond. After logging in, noticed that applications were taking a long while to load and actions were really delayed such as highlighting or clicking on something. Checked task manager and CPU usage was under 10%, Memory was around 15%, and GPU was 0%.  Also ran tons of system diagnostics as well as anti malware scans, none of them produced results. First time this has happened. I'm not too sure what's going on so help would be appreciated.

 

Windows 10 x64

Intel I-9 9900KF, @3.6Mhz

RTX 2070 SUPER

16GB DDR4 RAM

Z390 Tomahawk

First time it's happened,.... so does it keep happening on every boot now or was it a once off?

 

Windows could very well have task scheduled tasks on that boot cycle when getting into Windows.


EG of such a task...
Nvidia Geforce Experience (and other programs also do scans too elsewhere (updates/Checking) Nvidia GFE scans your "Game Locations" once per day on login... that has higher disk usage for the scan time and that can affect your performance clicking on things when the PC is slightly busy with such things...

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

What SSD/HDD setup do you run?
Antimalware is part of Windows, I wouldn't mess with it, it's actually pretty good as an A/V

I’m using a 512GB ssd as the booting drive with a 1TB and a 2TB HDD partitioned together
