Most of the actions I had already tried and did not improve. I uninstalled Microsoft Edge and Skype PC performance was back to normal.

Hi,
Thank you for posting the solution which worked to improve performance on your PC. Also, can you try reinstalling those back and see if it still causes the performance issue?

Let me know the results after performing the above.
