I had to 'Reset' my Windows and I opted to 'keep my files'. I did Disk Cleanup to remove the old.windows files.
Before I had the problem, Windows was extremely snappy and quick even after a year or more of being installed. The problem was caused after I installed an app made by ASRock which was able to play with clock values etc and it completely bugged my machine so I couldn't use it, I found it easiest to try a reset of Windows.
Long story short, it is slow now BUT only when clicking the Start Menu and/or searching for app etc in taskbar. Everything else is quick. Temps are perfect, games run perfectly, 4k video etc etc.
I read this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-start-winpc/start-menu-wont-open-windows-10-is-suddenly/4ea92f23-5680-4d3e-93a8-4c0aa7bc49b7
It basically got me to type this into Powershell:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
He says if this process fails, I either typed incorrectly or have a LARGE problem with Windows. Seeing as I've typed/pasted this several times, and I downloaded Windows directly from Microsoft, I don't see what I can do next. I receive this error in Powershell telling me that I need to close Windows Client and WindowsStartMenu (or something...):

Creating a new user account made everything work correctly and fast again.
Strange that this was necessary on a fresh 'reset' install of Windows, but at least this has fixed it.
