Something that helped for me lately

I recently noticed, after downloading a free game from "Windows Store", a slowdown in performance on my system.  I found that turning off Windows Store during my simming sessions makes a difference

Click START, type GPEDIT.MSC and press the Enter key. (if it does not show up, see below)

Expand USER CONFIGURATION > ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES > WINDOWS COMPONENTS > STORE.

Set TURN OFF THE STORE APPLICATION to Enabled

This can always be reverted if you perceive no difference, but I have, my system is much more compliant now in all applications, I used to see hesitations when I typed, for instance, every once in a while.
