I would check the performance setting in the system folder off of the control panel
Check the advanced systems setting and set visual for performance and then the advanced tab check for performance for programs and see fi that also helps
I disabled the automatic startup (via Task manager) of all (14) Windows applications, and rebooted Windows (normal);? Lookup
response time has not improved; still takes 4-5 seconds w/hourglass.
I use only Windows Defender.? It shows NO History of quarantine.??? No history at all.
What to try next ?
+ Try temporarily disabling Windows defender. Also disable your firewall application.
