this might indicate that this is an issue with malware on your system. please run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner, microsoft safety scanner & kaspersky security scan.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

You can use the MSConfig program or the Autoruns utility to see which software and services are getting started.

If it works in Windows Safe mode then you have a problem with other software, likely security software or a system driver, that is running on your computer.
