Laptop running extremely slow after fresh install of windows 10?

I am running the latest drivers (I updated them via driver booster last night) and windows update says I'm running the latest version of windows. I've restarted my laptop several times and it doesn't seem to help. According to task manager, memory usage
rarely goes above 50%. As the hard drive was wiped, I have over 800 gigs free. I've disabled most of the programs I have on startup and malwarebytes reports nothing wrong with my system either. I've turned off onedrive sync and am currently running the sfc
command in cmd. I'll reply with the results of sfc but barring that, whats the next step?

Thanks!

A lot of things can cause a slow startup, most common would be drivers. It will take a *long* time for us to go through all the options, so i'll just list the steps i do for a fresh windows install that is problem free, you can let us know if you missed any of it.


1. Format the drive - clean windows install from DVD
2. install all drivers you can from windows update first, except video card. Make sure to install and update .Net, as modern video card drivers require that.
3. install any missing drivers (check device manager), including video card manually, with downloads from their respective websites. never install from the motherboard DVD/website unless you have to.
