[Cross posting this from Pro Tools Software discussion, not sure which is the better topic to post under]

Hi guys, I've scoured the existing threads on this forum and haven't found any solution yet to my problem. It started about 2-3 weeks ago. I can open Pro Tools 10, but literally any action I take is followed by around 30 seconds of unresponsive downtime. This includes opening a session, clicking on the timeline, changing a setting, etc. Pro Tools is often listed as "Not Responding" in task manager during this time. CPU Usage also jumps up to 90-100%.

Quick list of things I've tried:

Reinstalling from scratch (including using CCleaner to clear registries/misc files)
Reinstalling ASIO4All
Run as administrator, run in compatibility mode
Closing unnecessary programs
De-activating Internet Explorer
Moving all Plug-Ins out of the plug-in folders
Updating drivers from manufacturers' websites in Device Manager

Might be missing some others I've tried, but damn this problem is PERSISTENT. I'm running Windows 10 which I know is already a risk, but it was running completely perfectly for about 4 months on it, then all of a sudden this problem.

I'm running Pro Tools 10.3.5. If you guys have any insight as to what could've caused this, I would be extremely appreciative. Tech troubleshooting can be so frustrating. Personally, I have a small feeling that perhaps a Windows 10 update has caused this problem, but I don't really know how to pinpoint which. I could potentially rollback to a time when I knew Pro Tools worked fine, but I want to see if you guys have anything to suggest!

Thanks for any help guys. This forum is the best (first time poster, but I creep here often when I need Pro Tools help).

And finally, here's the beloved Sandra:
