Hello and a warm welcome back to the forums to both of you 
What programs do you have on your computer, anything that you can think would immediately cause this? Check your task manager and and set refresh speed to high, then sort by CPU usage highest>lowest, watch for programs using higher percentages and post them here if you're unsure of what they are.
Have you defragged recently? Run a disk cleanup first, then defrag. If you (or Windows) haven't done this recently, you should notice an immense improvement afterwards. I'd also suggest downloading MalwareBytes and running it to verify there's no nasties hiding in your system. Download MalwareBytes.
