Windows 10: System Performance

My computer is sluggish to start doesn't seem to be booting up right. I have tried defragging, system reserve is at 18% after optimizing it drops to 9%, until you analyze it again, and then it goes right back to 18%, so its done nothing. How should I proceed with this matter. I also just got the latest windows 10 update. I am an older man that is not really tech savvy, I could really use some help in this area, Sincerely, Richard Moses1
