Hey there everyone, just in case anyone has the same problem as I had then I hope this post will help them.
Okay so the way I solved this problem was by simply resetting my computer (remove everything) and once that was finished my computer was up and working again, just make sure that you save all your files etc.
This reply in the quote below by Ramesh Srinivasan worked for me as a temporary solution, but the problem was that when I re-enabled the third party services and tasks the problem re-occured (and I didn't know which one was the culprit), so basically that's why I reset my pc.
Thanks to everyone!
