Windows 10: Lag when opening programs/application

Hi, i have a problem where windows lags whenever i open a newly installed or updated program/applications that are on another drive than my OS. This mostly happens when i download and install games through Steam(Cuz i do that very often), but it also happen to League of legends after update and other newly installed programs so i doubt it is steam. When i say lag in this situation i mean that the mouse, sound and windows in general becomes lagy.

I have 3 drives, Samsung 950 pro NVMe SSD for my os, samsung 850 evo SSD and WD black 3TB HDD.

I have checked the usage on the cpu and disk while it happens cpu is low and the disk is hige(on the HDD, but not os disk) and i have also checked the S.M.A.R.T status on all the drives and they have 0 errors/faults.

Anyone that have had this problem or have a idea what i could do?

Lag when opening the application for the second time

I've been facing this problem since a week now.

When i boot the system and open an application specifically games it opens quickly without any lag.

If i quit the game and open it again it takes more than a minute to launch,after the launch if i quit the game it takes another 30 seconds to close the application.

And until the next reboot all games lag the same way.

I've no problems in gameplay.

My PC is Lenovo Y700 running Windows 10 home build 14393.222

with latest nvidia drivers installed.

Okay, then I would figure that the next step is to figure out your hardware and perhaps the OS.

I wonder if this will work? How to successfully install Windows 10 build 14393.222 (workaround)

It may address the problem you are having, which I'm suspecting is involving saving game data. It's also a fairly common emergent problem from the latest updates a I understand...I'm using 7 but troubleshooting is not OS specific.
