Windows 10: Extremely slow laptop

Hello!A friend of mine bought his HP laptop round yesterday, as it was running extremely slowly. It's not the quickest laptop in the world with a 2.5Ghz CPU 4 Gb of RAM and a 1Tb HDD. It's running the Windows 10 Home 22H2. I fired it up and it took a good 4 minutes to get to a state where I could open File Explorer. When I did get File Explorer open, it showed no directories just quick-access files. He said it had been like this since he tried to install Outlook for Windows to replace Windows 10 Mail. My first thought was to uninstall Outlook for Windows, but the system wouldn't let me. I then

Jumplist sometimes extremely slow

I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 recently.

Only after a few days, the jump lists started to get extremely slow.

But they behave that way just for a while, then they work as they should again.

When slow, it takes several minutes for the jump list to appear. It is extremely annoying. Especially e.g. when I have opened a remote desktop and want to open another one via the jumplist.

I had exactly the same problem with my old Windows 7 PC and assumed that I would get rid of that problem,
changing both PC and OS, but no.

I do not want the standard answers to this problem:

- Disable Aero

- Clear the (Explorer) Cache for Jump lists

- etc.

It is definitely something else. I mean, how would the jump list cache get full after only a week? And why does the jump list get slow only sometimes and then suddenly works just fine again?

So please, give me an answer that takes this into consideration.
