PC taking an age to load

Newish laptop from Novatech, running Win 10. Christmas present for the missus. Not sure what if anything she has done. It was running fine until this morning when it just wouldn't boot up correctly.

After logging on it was very slow to load desktop and took even longer to load taskbar icons.

None of the icons would work, tried a reboot to no avail. Even had to hold down the Start button to get it to switch off.

Tried to run Task Manager but that also took several minutes to load, eventually got it to run and noticed that 'System Interrupts' was using 79% of CPU.
It settled down to 1% after about 20 seconds.

Switched off with the start button again as normal Start/Shut down not working. This time it rebooted almost as quick as it usually does and now seems to be working fine.

I have saved a file from the Event Viewer of the error logs as an .evtx file but it is about 1 meg in size.

Is there anyone out there who might be able to shine a light on why this happened as the PC seems to be running normally ATM.

PS. I have already contacted Novatech and am awaiting their reply.
