Windows 10 laptop is really slow and sometimes unresponsive

couple days ago my laptop suddenly became really slow and sometimes not responding after the login screen

opening task manager takes 4 minutes ,after it opens it says that the cpu ram etc is not even above 50%

opening stuff like win+r takes 3-4 minutes too,basically all programs/apps

task manager also doesnt respond alot
ive had this problem for a couple days now,is there any way to fix it? school is coming up on 9th so i really need it fixed

thanks

(laptop is an old lenovo b490m)
running windows 10 version 18 something
