Windows 10: Programs "freezing" but not really?

So I recently reformatted my computer. My main drive is a ssd and my computer was acting kind of slow so I decided to do a whole wipe. And afterwards everything was fine, dandy and waaay faster than before and I could edit videos for hours fine. but now randomly things like chrome and my windows taskbar will freeze but the weird thing is, they won't do the thing where it whites out with the (not responding) text but I just can't interact with it. Things like my discord won't connect even though my internet is fine and restarting my computer takes ages but forcing it to shutdown and then power it back up takes only a couple seconds. The biggest alarm is the windows security option of Potentially Unwanted Apps blocker thing in windows is off even though by default it should be on and I can't even change it despite being administrator any help would be much appreciated!

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

Thanks for the reply. Since the Creator's Update is giving you some issues, we suggest reverting back to the previous update. Here are the steps:

• Open Settings window.
• Click Update and Security, then Recovery.
• Select Get Started, under Go back section.

Once done, it will restart your PC. After the restart, please do check if you'll still experience freeze moments on any programs you are working on.

We're looking forward to your response.
