if you have all your data and all your apps backed up so that you can reinstall it then one thing worth trying is to reset your PC which you can find under settings

This will basically completely refresh Windows, wipe everything else and you will be left with a factory fresh PC

You can then see if that solves the problem

obviously you will have to reinstall any apps and copy back any data
