Laptop too buggy .....HELPPPPP
Use Autoruns from sysinternals.com or WhoInStartup from nirsoft.com (this last one might be false positive on antivirus, so should you not want to run it it's OK) to check what is being started when your system boots. Be careful not to remove/delete important startup tasks.

Memory issues?
Download RAM Map from sysinternals.com, also 8 GB might be a little to low for your taste thus your apps hoging whatever is left out for grabs.

How can I get rid of McAfee pop-ups in Windows notification?
Maybe try Autoruns from sysinternals.com. Run it, and disable anything that looks like it is from McAfee, by removing the checkmark beside it. Reboot when you're done. Autoruns enumerates everything that starts when your computer does.

GPU 3080 ti running at 100% in Idle only on Task Management.
Hey guys, I am running with the same problem with my 3080 ti. Task Management tells me that my GPU runs at 100% - 90% idle. There is no temperature change and Msi Afterburner is telling me 2-3%, and also Sysinternals.com so who do I believe? I completely unplug the Ethernet cable and it continues to run at 100%. I run Rkill, Malwarebytes, and Avast Premium to catch anything and everything came back clean. I am not enjoying my PC at the moment I feel like someone is crypto mining from me. I will take any advised serious and thank you in advance.

TIL of the Sony rootkit scandal: In 2005, Sony shipped 22,000,000 CDs which, when inserted into a Windows computer, installed unn-removable and highly invasive malware. The software hid from the user, prevented all CDs from being copied, and sent listening history to Sony.
Mark Russinovich was the guy who found it and got famous in the tech world at that time. Anyone from back then who worked with windows was familiar with his freeware site sysinternals.com. - this was a set of tools that were pretty much compulsory use for anyone who needed to troubleshoot gnarly problems with windows platforms. It was his tool rootkitrevealer that exposed the Sony criminal behaviour. Good guy. Pillar of the wintel tech community. Microsoft approached him with a job offer not long after the Sony scandal went public.

How do I delete these files leftover from a malicious program?
If it's a file lock error "folder is in use", use process explorer from sysinternals.com, as admin of course, enable the lower pane view, view handles, and then search to find what process has a lock on a file or folder inside the folder you're trying to delete. Whatever process shows up, close the associated program or process, or just kill the handle in process explorer. A word of warning, killing handles can sometimes crash the computer, so make sure all your work is saved.

RGB software is IMPOSSIBLE.
I used Aurora software in my previous build to sync my then Asus b250i motherboard with all the peripherals (Roccat and Razer) successfully but that project wasn’t updated since 2020. However recently I found a fork - https://github.com/Aurora-RGB/Aurora which supports everything except gigabyte motherboard and gpu.
