I think it slows down while automatically updating itself. When that happens, I'll cut the process short by restarting. Whatever downloaded updates there are up to that point will be installed and then it runs faster again. I'll often run Disk Cleanup right after restarting to get rid of the Windows Update installation files and other no longer needed stuff that bogs it down. I'll sometimes do a disk defragmentation right after the cleanup.

Make sure Allow downloads from other PCs is turned off so you're not letting Microsoft use your computer to update others over the internet.: Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update>Advanced Options>Delivery Optimization>Allow downloads from other PCs>Off
