gi, delete antivirus and turn off microsoft defender.
do you visit shady websites? i don't need your answer to that question, just know that anti virus programs are made to slow down your computer, it's their design. My friend has run his pc's (only reason he's had two pc's is because he upgraded to a GPU 3090, so he did everything else since his GPU was so high end, not computer issues) without antivirus for over 8 years and he's never had an issue. He also does a lot of downloading. I have done this now for about a year, started with mining operations. I have not had an issue. I don't visit any shady websites. Not IT advice ;)
