Windows 10: Windows 10 UI slow and laggy on high-end laptop

So, I have an HP Elitebook 1050 G1 with the following specs:

Intel i7 8750H with Intel UHD Graphics 630

Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Max-Q

16 GB RAM

512 GB SSD (NVMe)

(I can give further details if necessary)

The problem is that Windows 10 feels very slow and sluggish. I have seen it work way better on a Dell XPS 15 with nearly the same specs. I don't think that my laptop is too weak to handle Windows, there must be another problem. I am even running on 1080p instead of 2160p, which improved it but it is nowhere good. The animations are not smooth at all, especially switching desktops or opening Multitasking View, they run at 25 FPS at best. Sometimes programs open really slow.

All my drivers are up to date and working fine apparently, I have done multiple resets of windows and still the same result. But it is very frustrating that a 2000€ laptop cannot handle windows. It seems fine though when hooking up to a monitor where it uses the discrete graphics, so I am speculating that the problem is the integrated graphics.

Appreciate any help

Laggy UI

Aileen, is there any hope of Microsoft making its software responsive and not laggy? Or do slow sluggards do the development and not notice how laggy everything has become?

Extremely Laggy Windows 10 UI

Hello, I get a extremely laggy UI notifications in taskbar and the startmenu button. Never should/have this problem in windows 8.1. As soon as the UI has gone the lag goes.
