Windows 10: Why does my pc seem to want to slow down? I hear the fan go to nothing and everything gets...

Windows 10 HP pc/laptop why schizoid there? It's architecturally a laptop but can never be used as one, it's upright like a desktop, Pavilion

Power set to High Performance

I can generally tell when my computer is not doing a lot of work. The fan is almost unheard. And it seems to want to go there often. When it does everything gets acutely laggy. I mean almost to a stop. The mouse cursor freezes and I have to jump hoops to wake the machine up again?

I've experienced this in bygone era's . . . and it seem to rectify, eventually. But now it's almost all the time. Like now, I hear nothing from the machine works, dead silence.

What has been done. Is this an HP issue or a Windows thing?

Thanks so much.
