Since the last week i have been experiencing several issues with Windows 10, probably because of the last update.

I ha ebren thinking in formstting and a clean install of Wi dows 10 but what can i do before sorting to such extreme task (i syalling windows is easy but reinstalling all the software i have is the tedious part).

Ok. First I cant use, install or uninstall Google Drive. Everytime i turn on my PC it shows an error message about a bad image or dll. Error code 0xc000012f

Today I got a BSoD with the driver_not_less_or_equal code and an .exe file but i csnt remember the name and I lost my search history.

The computer has been very slow at booting into Windows, at least three times slower than before and opening a program or searching on the task bar has been a pain. I tried to update my gpu drivers since they were outdated.

I followed a cmd tutorial to check and fix the integrity of windows files using DISM.exe

My system specs:
Amd Ryzen 2600x
Mobo Asus Strix x470 gaming f
Gpu : msi gtx1060 6gb
Ram: 16gb ddr4,2x8 corsair veangance rgb
SSD C: AData u630 480gb (windows goes here)
Hdd: toshiba 2tb
SSD/ Nvme m.2 1tb western digital

So i did a clean install of Windows using the usb flash drive with the windows media creation tool.

Still i kinda feel my PC slow and sometimes stuttering.

I have installed chrome, the gpu drivers and steam so far but it does not feel right.

Even changing tabs on chrome makes the browser freeze and not responding for like 5 to 10s.

Installing steam is taking forever, 30min and counting. The gpu drivers took around 40min.

I see that the usage of the ssd is 100% sometimes and the cpu frequency goes below its base clock (it should be 3.6 to 3
8 base,4Ghz or.more with boost) but in the task manager shows sometimes 2.3,2.7GHz.

PD. Clicking on the windows button to search something or turning off/rewind starting the computer is taking forever. 1min and still nothing
