Go to solution Solved by HoiDaniel,

If your anti-virus is scanning a slow HDD, this may take days to complete. If you shut your pc down, it begins from the start again. That may cause a very slow pc-experience. Solution is buying a faster hybrid HDD of SSD :)

It might be windows indexing. I've had that cause my HHD to slow way down in the past. If you open resource manager and look at disk you should be able to find what is using it.
