Windows 10: Laptop loads slowly and restarts.

My laptop is restarting after every shut down and takes hours to load anything. This happened overnight and previously it had only taken moments to do anything. Its practically unusable now and i don't know what to do.

Thumbnails load slowly in Explorer

Hi, have you done any research on this? A general search for
thumbnails load slowly
suggests e.g.
How to Speed Up a Windows Folder that Loads Very Slowly

But there are so many factors: how large a file is each image: where are the files located: what is the speed of access to that location: what else is the PC doing at the same time..... (check your task manager).

Another angle:
When Windows 10 thumbnails seem to be missing or slow to load, try this | PCWorld

Please also feel free to search the forum.

Note: forum rules prohibit thread bumping... thanks.

Files loading slowly, Graphics slowest

Winver: 21H2 /19049 /1526 Working with Intel NUC i7-8809G 3.10ghz. 16GB memory. 2 1GB SSD. 1TB desktop drive. Radeon VegaM GH graphics. After the NUC started life as a champion performer, the system is slowing down. Large graphics can take as long as 10 seconds to load. Long text documents are also slower, but acceptable. Loading works in all cases, but very slowly compared to what I'm used to. What steps can I take or what resources can I use to diagnose the situation?
