Okay - you seem to have more than enough system resources.
My point about System Restore was, because this happens every 3 or 4 months, do you have to go back to the beginning (as in years) or just the most recent 3 or 4 months? And it is the last 3 or 4 month.
I wonder what would happen if you just leave it and see if it works itself out? My thinking is you keep undoing Windows Updates and get further and further behind. Windows Update is supposed to work in the background and not interfere with the user. But if, for example, you shutdown after every session, it cannot keep Windows fully updated. So eventually, it has to move into the foreground where it impacts performance.
Perhaps if you adjust your power options when plugged into the charger to stay awake. Then initiate Windows Update and let it finish updating and see if performance is okay. Windows 10 2004 is out now, it may even include fixes for your problem - if allowed to get installed.
What are you using for security? I use Windows Defender on all my systems here - in part because I got tired of alternative solutions bogging my systems down. I also use it because it works. None of my systems have been infected with Windows Defender, starting with W8 and now with W10 or its predecessor, Microsoft Security Essentials with W7.
I am not trying to promote WD, just saying it is a viable solution that's effective, easy on resources and already in there.
