If you're having issues like those you describe, then I don't think it has much to do with the apps you have installed and it's far more likely to be an issue with Windows itself, a driver issue, or perhaps even some kind of infection and/or PUP on the system causing that level of performance degradation.

Removing apps that run in the background constantly may help, but I don't think it is likely to correct all of the issues you describe as it sounds to me like something more serious is going on with that system.

OK, so it probably isn't infected, but that doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't something else going on.  A system's files or Windows installation can be corrupt out of the box brand new.  It isn't terribly common, however it is possible and I've seen it first-hand on multiple occasions both as a PC technician and with systems of my own.  Driver issues can crop up at any time, including when the Windows install is new (in fact, this can make them even more likely since often times the drivers that ship with the system are older/not the latest and therefore are more likely to contain bugs which may have since been fixed in later driver releases).

I am not saying that it is absolutely impossible that all of the issues you're having are caused by apps installed, however I just don't think it is very likely.  You can try removing them though, and if it helps that's great, but if it doesn't fix the issues then you might consider investigating the other potential causes I mentioned.

I get driver issues often after Windows updates, AND you can uninstall programs that come from Microsoft all you want, but there are no guarantees their next update won't reinstall them.  They want you to use THEIR stuff, and they shove it down your throat.  One thing you should look for is bloatware that is preinstalled by your computer vendor.  Many are notorious for that.  For lag, check your exclusions on anti-virus and anti-malware.

Do all of those apps actually run in the background all the time though?  If so, then yes, removing them could certainly improve system performance, however just having an application installed shouldn't impact performance in any way if it isn't actually running (unless perhaps you're low on disk space, but then uninstalling those apps probably won't free up sufficient space to have a great impact on the problem and it may be time to seek out other options like a larger drive or secondary drive for additional storage).

this is my first experience/first use of Windows 10 , so , to answer you , I do no know if these app are running in the background or not ! and the disk have a lot of free space but windows update had take some space too which the disk is 500 GB in the size!

I have a few software file only on my "download" folder

EDIT here :  not sure if this one but here a new problem https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-free-up-disk-space-after-updating-to-windows-10-april-2018-update/

Microsoft link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12425/windows-10-free-up-drive-space

@exile360 not really sure if updating to new version of windows will take up that space on the hard drive ? (I will read what in those link later time of course :))

even MALWAREBYTEA is take a long time to scan on this brand new laptop along with other security software are taking a long time to do a scan (this may help?)

As you are new to Windows 10, I'll tell you something you will likely find quite discouraging.  Windows 10 has an extreme fondness for looking for updates, downloading updates, and installing updates.  I go looking for sources of slowdowns on mine, and the updates are always the cause, with Malwarebytes contributing to it by checking to make sure downloads are safe.  Unless you loaded a ton of stuff on your 500GB HD, free disk space is not the issue.  Very few of the apps you mentioned above are actually running, they are just toys for people who need toys.

Windows Updates will be far more active on Win 10 than you are used to.  Start Googling for ways to defer update activity and how to throttle it.  That will help.

Yeesh, that would annoy me.  I keep my system patched, but I check for Windows Updates on my time (generally at least once a day, and absolutely every Patch Tuesday without fail).  I don't like the whole "silent automatic" update thing.  I like to know what they're trying to install, especially since I opt out of some of those updates (particularly those specifically targeted at improving telemetry and the like, though with this new cumulative update method MS is now employing it's virtually impossible to keep all of it out short of not patching, so I also keep an up to date HOSTS file and firewall rules that explicitly block Microsoft's telemetry servers (along with those of certain other big data vendors like Google).
