My laptop was infected with STOP DJVU malware back in 2021 and I followed all the steps in howtogeek website for malware removal and it was working fine ever since though I lost data due to encryption by malware. A while later One of my friends used KMSpico to activate windows on my laptop. Ever since then, my system became slow and the boot up time has also increased (takes about 30 - 45 seconds to startup). This is slow considering my laptop has NVMe Intel SSD and I have already disabled fast startup. I have uninstalled KMSpico a little while later using IObit uninstaller. The main issue I have is that whenever I make a simple google search, the web pages take a while (around 5 to 10 seconds) to load and display the results. This is prevalent in chrome, although I did observe the delay in other browsers such as firefox and microsoft edge though not as much. Another thing is that command history is not saving in Run program (which can be started by pressing Win + R buttons.) It does save the history but it's only limited to a single session of windows. When I restart the system, all the history is deleted and I get a clean box for me to manually type in the commands with no suggestions. I am guessing some application has changed the registry key responsible for saving run command history.
