Windows 10: Windows 10 Slow

I restarted my PC and it became very slow. All apps and websites are very laggy. This has been happening for a few days. So far, I tried cleaning my PC through CMD and restarting it a few times. One thing I noticed is that my PC isn't using its CPU or RAM in the task manager. Also, my PC isn't getting hot. Therefore I don't think it is due to fans or hardware, nor low RAM or CPU. I had this Laptop Dell Inc. precision 7520 for a year or so and it has never gotten like that. I noticed my battery is swollen so maybe it is related to that. I haven't installed any applications recently.Thanks!

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
