Windows 10: Brand New High Spec Windows 10 Desktop lagging & running poorly

Hi all,First post here, i'm a long-term windows user, just purchased a new Lenovo Legion T5 desktop AMD Ryzen 7 5800 8-Core Processor, 16gb RAM, GeForce RTX3070 before Christmas and it's running like a steam train.This is by far the best spec machine i've ever had, and, as it's less than 2months old, i would expect the general speed and performance to be pretty good. However, for some reason, most of the time, it seems to runs 'clunkily' and very laggy... without me even running any demanding programs or tasks!This machine is like new, i've literally installed my usual suite of programs off

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

brand new lap top battery

I ran the troubleshoot power option and it said “Display brightness setting is too high”

but it’s a brand new laptop, i should think I could expect the most from it.

I haven’t tried the next steps uou have suggested yet.
