Bad startup performance

About 5 months ago I got a new ssd (WD Blue SA510 SATA) fresh installed windows and everything had been fine. For the past 3 weeks my PC has been killing itself. I'll turn it on, and its fast to boot but once I get to my desktop it just starts dying. Everything is extremely slow to work, firefox will freeze, programs will randomly minimize and reopen, programs will take forever to startup, even hitting the windows icon or Ctrl+Alt+Del will be slow when trying to restart.

  • I've checked my task manager to see if there is anything out of the ordinary
  • ran a malware removal tool
  • ran memtest
  • ran crystal disk
  • updated all drivers / windows updates

After 30 or so minutes it'll act normal. I have a video attached for an example of what the cursor does

I assume that I picked a crap drive and this is what I get for trusting WD blindly instead of researching first.

 

Any ideas?

PC Specs if anyone needs them:

  • B450 A-pro
  • Ryzen 5800x
  • evga 3080ti
  • EVGA Supernova platinum 850 P6
  • 16gb 3200 ddr4 corsair vengeance
  • 970 evo 500gb m.2
  • WD Blue SA510 SATA
  • Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5
  • 2tb barracuda

Out of curiosity... why did you install Windows on the SATA drive when you already have a NVMe drive?

Cause when I got that NVME I was hella lazy and didnt feel like going through that process. The only reason I upgraded my boot drive is cause the ssd I was using was from 2015 and only 128gb 😅
