Clear temp files, msconfig, check start up entries, uncheck stuff you do not want to start upon boot.
On services tab on msconfig order it by manufacturer and uncheck teamviewer services etc and other stuff you installed.
These services will start if you just open the app again or recheck them in msconfig.

Assuming it's not a lap top, get some canned air, a hoover with a nozzle, and take the side off (if it's a tower). Give it a blast and remove all the dust, especially from the fan sat on the circuit board and any air vents on the pc case plus any other fans you can see. Careful not to touch anything inside although put a light finger on the fans as you spray them or they move around without the dust coming off.
Plus an antivirus scan, and malware bytes scan. If it's still slow, drink less coffee and it may seem normal.

Go to the windows start menu. type defender. Run a scan.
Download malware-bytes free. Install. Run.
Download a program called ccleaner (make sure you pick the free version).
Install it, run. Hit 'Run Cleaner', in the bottom right corner.
Once that's done, click 'Tools' on the left hand side
Now click 'Startup'
This gives you a list of all the programs that start when your PC boots up. Some will be disabled already - the ones that run are in the darker text.
Look at this list. You don't need all this shite - Office helpers, Adobe, ITunes, stuff for your mobile phone, chat programs.... nearly everything can be disabled and will still run ok when you start the app. If you disable something and it then doesn't work, you can come back and re-enable it. Or you can give us the list and we'll pick them. Otherwise, simply Right Click as many as you feel safe disabling, them, select 'disable'.
Reboot. Try your usual apps to see if they work ok.
Go to uninstall. get rid of anything you have put on the machine that you don't need any more.
Go to Browser Plugins, repeat - but leave anything to do with video, or any add-ons that you use yourself.
Go to scheduled tasks, empty this out as much as possible (leave anything by Microsoft)
For all of the above, if you are really unsure about disbling/uninstalling something, you can google it to find out what it is. Or ask us.
Reboot.
Defrag, but not if you have an SSD.
OR
Back up your documents and do a fresh install of windows. This is so much better. You'll need to grab your windows key before you do this.
Don't do this if you have a laptop - get the documentation out and find out how to return it to manufacturer settings.
