I've got an Intel i7 12700k processor and 64GB of G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 RAM, but my PC feels sluggish, especially when compared to my MacBook Pro which handles tasks much faster. I've been upgrading since I built my PC back in 2020. Any advice on how I can improve its performance?

With a setup like the 12700k and 64GB of RAM, it shouldn’t be slow at all. Have you tried checking the health of your drives with CrystalDisk? Also, running a memory test can help rule out any RAM issues. If everything looks good, you might consider reformatting Windows, as it can get bogged down sometimes.
It sounds like you might want to check a few things. First off, what exactly are you noticing in terms of underperformance? Also, can you share the full specs of your setup? Sometimes knowing the whole picture can help identify the issue better.
It’s interesting that your Ableton sessions are spiking—maybe there’s something specific causing it. Make sure your system is fully updated beyond just the GPU drivers. If the lag persists in File Explorer too, that could be a sign of something else going on in your system.
