You got a major Windows update (probably to version 2004) on 2020-07-03 .
That created the old windows folder.

 

You have these accounts:

 

==================== Accounts: =============================

WDAGUtilityAccount (S-1-5-21-230648109-2203172336-163472851-504 - Limited - Disabled)

 

 

 

Only the bradl account is active.  The other accounts are standard.  The last one is associated with Windows Defender and is on most Windows PCs.

 

I would uninstall

Intel® Computing Improvement Program

I think it's causing an error.

 

You might also want to try uninstalling MalwareBytes,  With Kaspersky you probably don't need it and it has a conflict with Version 2004:

https://support.malw...tes-for-Windows

 

Don't see the point of keeping Tweaking.com - Windows Repair installed.  Better to uninstall and get a new version the next time you need to use it.

Same goes for RogueKiller

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST

Run FRST and press Fix (this will clean up some deadwood and also check your system files.  Will take about 25 minutes to complete so be patient,)
A fix log will be generated please post that

Reboot if the fix doesn't reboot it for you

Run FRST again as before.  Make sure Addition.txt is checked and hit Scan.  Post both logs.

 

If it still feels slow:

 

Multiple replies are OK.  Best to post a log as you get it.

Get Process Explorer

Click twice on the CPU column header  to sort things by CPU usage with the big hitters at the top.  

Wait a full minute then:
