About two weeks ago, the performance of my Razer Blade 15 (2022) rz09-0421 suddenly rapidly dropped and booting (from shutdown and hibernate) takes up to 4 minutes. In my Windows system logs, I can see that Windows Defender is timing out after 30 seconds during booting. Tried to reinstall Windows Security. Updated all bios/firmware/windows 11. Tested my SSDs. Noticed my CPUs were heating up unevenly so I cleaned heatsink and reapplied thermal paste and that solved overheating I had for years. I also had random blue screens for a few months and I think someone on this forum described that issue without a solution but the boot lag is new to my machine. 

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Feels like my laptop is becoming slower every day. Anyone have any more ideas?
