Task manager is quite lame. Use Mark Russinovich's Process Explorer. It's a Microsoft tool bc Mark joined MS. Doesn't need installation, download it only from MS. It's also part of the sysinternals group of tools with which you can monitor disk IO, network and registry activity in details as well - to name a few.
Things like stupid DropBox's syncing can bog down a Windows. That was one of the culprit for my wife's laptop. I also discovered that although my fortified LEDE Wrt3200 ACM works with everything (including a dozen of smart gadgets) my wife's laptop's wifi chip does not like it. So I wired a lan cable to her, that helped in a major way. Lastly, it needs an internal cleaning of fans and stuff, 4 years of gunk I think.
