Have you checked for rogue programs that are starting with the operating
system? Run msconfig and disable everything there except for your security
software. Antivirus and Windows defender. If that fixes the problem then
re-enable each item one at a time and reboot each time. If the problem comes
back then you know it was the last item you re-enabled.
If you can narrow it down then re-post here and I am sure someone can help
you out further.
