Windows 10: Software

I have a Dell XPS 13 and after only having it for just under a week, I can't open any apps. I can open 'documents' and the start menu but that is about it. It is usually extremely fast at booting up and closing down but now it is taking ages to shut down but still only takes a short time to boot up. I am really unsure of all of the solutions I have seen online because it looks so technical and I really don't want to mess up this laptop. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

Is there a software that can keep your pc clean, fix it etc

There is no single software application that can perform all of the desired steps.

There are multiple software that can perform steps but the unexpected can always happen.

These are some suggested software:

1) Run the Dell software to update drivers, software, and BIOS
2) Run the Dell diagnostics to check hardware
3) Run Ccleaner to clean (modify the boxes to specify what is and is not cleaned)
Use the software to clean windows and applications.
Don't use the tool to clean the registry.
4) Make a backup image in case there are unexpected problems
