Windows Update. If the thing was off for a while, expect windows update to cripple it until it’s satisfied.
Slow boot drive. If it’s an older SSD it might be kicking the bucket soon. Also, if your boot drive is over 90% usage you’ll definitely feel it.
RAM issues. Download RAMMon (free RAM checking tool) and let us know what you see
Thermals. If your CPU hits 90+ degrees then it’ll have to throttle down to save itself. Cleaning the dust helps a lot with that because dust is an insulator and traps heat in.

The drive is very full, so upgrading storage has got to be a priority.
Not sure how to measure thermals, but I will look for a way. There should be a CPU temp sensor at least.
I can test the ram with memtest86 which is already installed and post the results.
I don’t think it is Windows Update ;)
