I've noticed Windows 10 being somewhat slow when it happens to be updating, or running some other kind of a periodic maintenance (or "maintenance") task. Sometimes this manifests as sluggishness right or soon after a restart, especially if I haven't been running Windows in a while (dual-booting). I echo the others who have suggested checking and seeing what's being run while the system seems slow. Of course if the system is almost entirely unresponsive, even doing that might be a bit of a struggle, but it might give clues.
