Hi Rob
Not much help but a similar thing happened with my son's PC. I tried
loads of things to try and speed it up; defragging, disabling services,
using an old small (32GB) SSD as a ready boost device, registry clean,
fixing cache size, malwarebyes scan, spybot scan and immunise, but
eventually gave up and installed a larger SSD with a new install and
migrated his account over.
I didnt try a "repair build", which might help.
