I made it and showed thisThat sounds like a failing hard drive. Open an elevated command prompt and do a chkdsk c: /R
Hi my name is Ricardo and I recently bought my computer with w10 and everything but as 1 month ago my pc started to slow down and I researched several possible solutions and I ended up finding out that it could be a windows bug
I made it and showed this
Won't be fragmentation as he formatted the disk.
Was that a chkdsk c: or a chkdsk c: /R?
The second chkdsk D: /R. I do not know why but it took a lot of time to check for errors with chkdsk D: / R while on the disk where windows is installed it was pretty fast despite being an SSD
I try to do the error check on the secondary disk that is where the problem occurs and does not report anything...
SSDs are faster than HDDs (that is normal).
In your first message you wrote:
Is Windows installed on the secondary disk or on the disk drive that does not have any problem? Please clarify that.
Windows is installed on the SSD because it is the fastest, however what is in trouble is the HD.
I already turned off however the windows does not get faster, it just gets normal. When I try to install something on the HDD or it takes a long time to install or after it is installed it takes time to load the program.What happens if you physically disconnect the HDD? Does Windows run faster?
Can you try it?
I've done all sorts of tests with seatools and it's everything okay.I would run a DFT (drive fitness test) on the drive if you haven't yet. You can use tools such as spinrite, seatools or even speedfan

That is what I meant. So, the problem has only to do with the secondary disk. Maybe it's time to save everything you have on that disk and replace it with a SSD (if you really need 2 disks). Here is a good video tutorial about SSD:
Do you use 2 disk drives because you need RAID?
So there is no arrangement? Does it have to be a new one?
ok thanksSymptoms point to a hardware problem.
There are two more things you can try (from my point of view):
1) Run Windows in Safe Mode and see if there is a difference. Follow the instructions:

2) Do you have a Linux live-CD/DVD? You can run it on your computer without installing it and see if you get some warning about your HDD (physically disconnect the SSD before you run the live-CD/DVD so that only the HDD is connected to the motherboard). There are utilities in Linux too that you can use to analyze your HDD. Let me know if you don't know how to prepare and use a Linux live-CD/DVD.
Otherwise, you can go to a PC repairs shop and ask them if they can repair your HDD.
