Icons load slowly at startup

Hello,
A few months ago, I used DriverCloud/touslesdrivers to update drivers, I also installed Intel Chipset, but I'm not sure if I did it right. Usually, I update from the official site of my PC brand. Anyway, I don’t know if it’s due to that, but my computer has been slow to boot for the past few weeks. I have hardly any programs. The startup programs are AVG, Malwarebytes, mouse, Wi-Fi, audio.
Also, indexing is quite slow; files take a long time to load, and the icons actually take a good 5 minutes to appear, the ones on the taskbar I’m talking about. I also can't right-click to access the Task Manager; I have to wait a bit because those on the desktop are constantly hidden, I never use them, but the image displays correctly.
Any small solution?
I feel like this PC is filled with unnecessary folders or services since I have installed and uninstalled so many things on it. I frequently do disk cleanup, and I run scans quite often as well. Sometimes I don’t understand; opening programs is just as slow, except for Explorer. To open a program takes forever, but once it’s open, everything works fine. At startup, I already removed explorer.exe and created a new task, but the icons still appear later, not instantly, so it’s useless to end the task and restart it. So, I thought about defective drivers, but I don’t want to use the driver verifier; I don’t want Windows to restart in a loop and have to go through steps that could end badly, especially since I just did a restore.

When your PC is started, wait a moment without touching it, then use the ctrl+alt+delete keys and check if a process is using the CPU excessively. It's the Task Manager that allows you to check this, and use more details... good luck.
Display Driver Uninstaller is used to clean up old drivers; will it remove the original ones? (windows/default/factory) because I want to keep the original Windows ones, I want to remove the ones I installed.

very well the screenshots, do you see where it's marked:
name pid status .... click on processes then see if any process is consuming a bit too much of your processor.
then do the same with memory.
the goal is to check if any software process is slowing down your PC by using resources it shouldn’t need.
From what I've seen, this is not the case, but it needs to be checked.
to help you understand, let's take a simple example
if I open the Windows media software and see that it's using 97% or more in proc.... it has a problem because it's causing the PC to crash..
In terms of RAM usage, the problem is the same... if you open the browser and it takes 2 gigabytes of RAM, or more for no reason, it has a problem
this can also be explained if you have too many programs at startup on your machine... especially if your machine is not very powerful like many PCs.....
and here is the right method regarding processes: this process: helppane
if you put it in a search engine, you find out that it’s an important Windows process: https://www.fichier.net/processus/helppane.exe.html
explorer.exe is your file explorer, try not to crash it. it may happen that you need to reboot the machine because it crashes.
When you want to update your PC, do it through the brand's website and one by one
avoid automatic solutions for updates
as they are often default and the update may be poorly done and crash your PC.
the principle that anyone trying to understand should use is to only install what is necessary. clean up once a week (ccleaner + auslogics disk defrag)
do not hesitate to ask someone experienced to see what might be a good configuration for their PC. do not trust so-called hackers....
a computer is a machine and like all machines, it is necessary to understand how it works and how to use it, but also how to maintain it. if we see things this way, there is a chance that everything will go better... it doesn't prevent breakdowns, but it helps to prevent them, and we pay more attention to these choices....
Good luck

Hello,
The issue with the icons has improved. I had installed, as I mentioned, the Intel chipset, and I reset all my Intel drivers to default (so I restored all of them except for the most recent graphics card driver), and I can tell you that the fluidity has noticeably increased on the PC. The problem remains with the startup; even before displaying my session, there is a pretty slow black screen, and after entering my password, the taskbar icons and the launch of programs like AVG, battery, keyboard, and volume take time to display.
I have analyzed everything from A to Z: Malwarebytes, startup scan, Adwcleaner, Rogue Killer, disk cleanup, defragmentation, disk analysis, full antivirus scan, performance analysis, and I strongly believe it is simply a driver's issue because I noticed a significant change when restoring the Intel drivers; it has improved, and even opening programs is noticeably faster. I want to remove all drivers that are not active except for the factory ones and those from my PC brand; how can I do that? I tried to uninstall "Intel graphics drivers" from the control panel, but when I clicked "next" to confirm, I stopped the task because I thought I might be making a mistake. However, it still got removed from the list of programs, so can we say it is uninstalled? There must be other drivers that I had installed earlier when I downloaded the Intel chipset; a bunch of drivers were installed, and I absolutely want to get rid of them, only keeping the graphics card driver because that is the most important.
I understand, but when I tried to update drivers on my PC's website, not all of them were there, so I thought that with the chipset, everything would install properly by replacing the Intel drivers with newer ones, but it ultimately got worse.
Thank you for replying.
