ive noticed new processes and services, along my pc slowing down over the last few months. i had this same issue on my old drive (got a new one and a new install of windows and all) and it seems to be doing the same thing again a few years later.

    Hi,

    I checked the files and didn't find any malware or viruses directly. There's a mod software called BakkesMod, which I believe doesn't need to start with the PC. It removes a somewhat suspicious file, 392667600.dat.

    As a precaution, do the following and create a restore point: Start menu > Settings > System > About > System Protection > Create > enter the desired name.

    You have many browser extensions; you can reset or disable the ones you don't use and run AdwCleaner to check for websites with permissions you shouldn't have.

    Open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

    Then perform a clean boot and uninstall applications that you do not use if you want.

    There are some things that need to be fixed that were missed in the fixlist you were provided with.

    • Save Fixlist.txt to your Downloads folder.
    • Close any apps with unsaved work.
    • Run FRST64.exe and click "Fix".
    • The computer will reboot to complete the procedure.

    Please upload Fixlog.txt
