Quite normal for a HDD on the Windows has been installed for several years. Over time, they just become extremely slow.

You should reinstall Windows, then everything runs smoothly for a while, or you buy a SSD directly and do not have to rebuild the system every few months / years.

Win10? - Then I would assume that there are preparations for a Windows update.

Look in the Task Manager> Processes to see if certain Windows service hosts are busy with the disk.
A confirmation for this you could find in "Settings> Update and Security> Windows Update".

It's best to reinstall Windows. Otherwise you can do the following without reinstalling:

Disk Defragment
Remove all programs from the autostart
Anti Virus System Uninstall (usually nothing, because really dangerous viruses disguise themselves)
Turn off automatic Windows updates

In general, the best solution would be to swap the hard drive for an SSD, which is many times faster!
