Windows 10: Issue with Pc slowing down and near freezing

Hello everyone, and first of all thanks for any suggestion you'll be able to give me (and sorry for my bad english too!).

It's about a week that my pc suddenly became slower: internet, mail, games, but also excell or world, no matter the progs i try to use, it takes ages to start running them (i.e.: 3 minutes ad 25 sec since the click to open this forum from my favourites).
It seems that it starts to run, then freezes, then run some more, then slow down again, etc.
When i say "run some more" I mean that it run for some time, maybe few secs, but it happens also that it runs for a couple of hours, usually after at least 30/45 minutes of this hiccups game!
I can phisically hear my pc runnin, then slowing down and silencing, then running again.
For istance, i run my antivirus and it reads 20 files, then stop for minutes, then read other 80 files then freezes again and so on

I thought it was a virus, but my antivirus are not able to find anything. I have:
1) Trend micro internet security full version, not the free one and
2) Malwarebytes premium version.
Both are full updated but they don't find anything.
I tried also:
3) Trend House call: nothing found.

Then I thought it's something else, so I tried with
4) chkdsk: nothing found.
5) Auslogic disk defrag: defragmented some, but everything it's ok.
6) I tried the stress test with Prime 95 and it run for 2 hours with nothing found.

Can anyone suggest me something else to try?

I added all I knows of my system specs, and my Windows version number is:
Windows 10 ver 1903 (build SO 18362.900)

:)

Hi, unfortunately all your attachments =>




Please post screenshots thus (tutorial available):



with a pause before clicking the upload button. Thanks.

1,6 - ok;
8- AV- as I commented I wonder if there is excessive resource use from conflict between these- ok Malwarebytes says it can run alongside an AV, but there is that caveat I quoted. It's only a possibility- could well not be this.

Hi, please work through this and answer all questions:

How much free space do you have on C: ?

Please post appropriate screenshots of your task manager (or photo if you can't) when your PC is responding very slowly, organising significant columns high to low by clicking the appropriate column header.

If you perform a clean boot (Google or see tutorial here if unsure how), do you experience any of the problems you report?

Please check your disk. Download, install, run HD Tune (free) v2.55 e.g. from Softpedia - Health and Error scan tabs and post results.

Disk transfer rate: Please copy a large file on the disk to the same disk. While that is happening post a screenshot of your task manager like this:




Are your page file settings still default or have you changed them?

History (often omitted by posters)
- can you think of any change you made about a week ago?
- if you look at your Update History in settings, did you receive an update or upgrade about a week ago?
- check for driver updates too at the bottom of the list.

You appear to almost be running two antivirus programs.

Malwarebytes warns:
There are alternate compatibility settings offered within Malwarebytes Premium for users with an existing Anti-Virus on their PC. See Malwarebytes Premium for Windows and Windows Action Center (WAC).

Are you running any other security software?
