Windows 10: Laptop frequent freeze

Hi!


My windows suddenly started lagging, freezing, and apps crashed randomly. It even takes longer to boot and open an app, even file explorer takes a whole ten minutes to load. When I checked the task manager, the system and/or antimalware service executable is using my disk to 100%. It alternates from CPU, memory, and disk. Even the task manager is occasionally not responding, and the not responding message is also not responding. Recently, system interrupts decided to join the fray and is also using 100% of my CPU.


I read some of the article that said I should upgrade to SSD to fix the problem. I will consider this option should the problem persists and I could not find a way to fix the problem.


I tried this solution:



1. Ran chkdsk and sfcscannow to scan and repair all corrupted files.

2. Defrag and optimize disks.

3. Downloaded and ran Windows 10 update from https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10 (may 2019 update)


My windows version is 1809 with OS build 17763.678


Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you for your help.


Regards,

Mike
