I'm noticing that my PC slows down and even freezes when I download large files, and the issue persists for about a minute even after stopping the download. I've tried running a malware scan with Malwarebytes, which found some issues, but deleting them didn't resolve the problem. This slowdown also occurs when I transfer files. My drivers are up to date, so I'm not sure what else could be going on. Any suggestions?

You might want to check the health of your hard drive using a tool like CrystalDiskInfo. If your storage is failing or has issues, it could cause performance problems when downloading or transferring files. It's worth a try!
Also, consider whether other applications are running in the background that could be using up your resources. Sometimes, just a few extra processes can sap your system's performance during large downloads. A quick look in the Task Manager can help you figure out what's hogging the CPU.
