Windows 10: Taskbar lagging all the time

Taskbar lags all the time. It freezes the menus or icons that are pinned on it. No matter what I did it will freeze. I need to restart the computer to make it work again. After couple of minutes it will freeze again. Not only that, the start menu is not functioning all the time and it will stuck it my screen 2 to 3 times per hour. Need to fix this immediately.
