Windows 10: Help me fix PC Freezing/Lagging Every few Seconds

Hello, I just factory reset my Windows 10 PC and it has never had this problem that it currently has now. Ever since it finished the factory reset, the PC freezes for just a few seconds every 30-60 seconds. Sometimes it freezes and I'm still able to move my cursor, sometimes it freezes and I'm not able to do so.Not sure what to do, the PC says it has no problems or updates available. The PC was working perfectly fine so something must've happened during the factory reset I assume?

Random & Brief PC Lag/Freezing

I will give that test a try once I have pursued this potential fix: [SOLVED] - Random freezing of system for a few seconds

With hopes, this will end this nightmare for me. What do you think about it?

 

Remote desktop lags/freezes for about 10 seconds when a message box or notification pops up

Why does my remote desktop connection lag/freeze for about 10 seconds when a message box or notification pops up? It only affects the actual remote session and I can minimize it and use my actual pc.

The remote desktop app is via citrix receiver.

Remote pc is Win10.

Client is Win10 and Win8.1.

Tried changing the following settings:

• Choose your connection speed to optimize performance
  
• Persistent bitmap caching
  

Thank you!
