I've read dozens of posts on here and still not found an answer. I've delayed programs on startup. I've cleaned with defrag. I'm up-to-date on downloads/updates. I've disabled Nortons. Nothing works.

Can I please know your PC's;

BIOS Version/Date,
Processor,
Ram Size,
Virtual Memory Size,
& Windows Version (Ex: 20H1, 21H2...)?
