I recently updated my laptop frm windows 8.1 to 10. All looks fine except when I open the file explorer, my laptop lags. I even used Avira antivirus, defrag the disl, use sfc /scannow but no avail. It is not smooth when scrolling down through files, right click takes 3sec, when i point the desktop icons it lags.

    Hi,

    You could try uninstalling the Avast AV temporarily to see whether it makes any difference, you will be protected by Windows Defender when you uninstall Avast, your CPU also slower one, if it's Celeron N2930 but can not do anything about it, how much memory do you have? You could try installing it's size if you already haven't upgraded, you could also replace the HDD with a SSD for faster response.
