Windows 10: Dramatically slow performance

My Windows 10 laptop has been dramatically slow for the last 8-10 days.

It has 4GB DDR4 RAM & HDD 1TB harddrive.

Nowadays most of the time the RAM and Harddrive look 100% full.

The Run maintenance task checks issues that might slow down your computer's performance or using high memory space, such as how many users are currently logged on to the computer and whether multiple programs
are running at the same time.

1) Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard and select Control Panel

2) Type Troubleshooting in the search bar on the Control Panel.

3) Click on View all on the left navigation pane.

if required).
