I'm having a really frustrating issue with my computer's performance. It takes forever to start up—about five minutes after I press the power button—and my Steam games are slow to load and run really choppy. I initially thought it was a problem with Steam itself, so I cleared the cache and verified the game files, but nothing changed. When I try to shut down, it also takes around five minutes for the PC to turn off. I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix it!

First off, let's see your specs. Knowing the details can really help us figure this out. What version of Windows are you using? How much RAM and what kind of storage do you have?
I'm using Windows 10, with 32GB of RAM. My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 3 3200G and I've got an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB. Storage shouldn't be an issue since I upgraded from 8 to 11 GB recently. I was playing without problems just a week ago.
