Windows 10: Windows 10 Lag on Startup

I've had my windows 10 pc for about a month now but every since a few days ago I've been getting some awful lag. When I start up my computer the password box wouldn't show up at all and clicking the mouse wouldn't do anything. I would have to wait around 5 minutes for the screen to black out before being able to enter my password.

Even then when the box came up, the keys wouldn't respond and it would take a few minutes for it to start up. I've tried having it in sleep mode so I can just click the mouse and have all my tabs already there, but doing that would have my pc randomly turn on and lag a ton.

The only explanation I can think of is when I was looking around the web for some old PS2 roms and found this site I used before. It lagged for a bit so I clicked the download link a few times before they all started downloading to my computer and my antivirus removed them because of the threat of malware. I did a full system scan and found no threats.

Any advice on the steps I should take?

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
