Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Apr 03, 2016  Often when you boot Windows 10 it wants to do a scan for viruses. That may be what you're seeing. Open the task manager and click the Processes tab, then click the Disk column header to see what's doing the most hard drive access. That'll be where the slow down is. One good solution would be to put Windows on an SSD.

We will be glad to assist you with the issue you are experiencing with the computer. I understand the difficulty when things won’t work the way they should.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it helps:

Method 1: Hardware Troubleshoot

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with power. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Power.

Refer these steps:

1. Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
2. Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
3. Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
4. Run the Power troubleshooter
