Windows 10: Why is lag appearing after opening some steam games on windows 10?

So a few weeks ago, i noticed that after opening/playing certain steam gamesfirst noticed on CSGO, my PC got kinda laggy, especially the dragging dragging windows around and stuff, but also other things, like opening windows very sluggish, even freezing while opening for 1-2 seconds. It goes back to normal after a restart, but its still very annoying. Also, recently got Left 4 Dead 2 and its the same for it. I've had this happen some time ago, but it happened like once so i thought it might be a one time thing. I got a RX 580 8gb, i7 3770k, 16gb RAM.

Steam games lagging on Windows 10

I have a HP laptop and I updated from 8.1 to 10 and Steam starts up fine and will open games. But they lag
SO MUCH . My brother got it on his PC and has had no issues. My laptop had no problems running games before but now it's running games so poorly that they are unplayable. It's been about half an hour now and I'm already wanting to
go back to 8.1. So I need help fixing this problem or reverting back to 8.1
