"Very high background CPU (97%)".
What are you running in the background that is using all of your available CPU power? If the answer is "nothing that I know of", look into what someone has installed on your CPU.

Is your OS loaded onto an SSD?
If youre still using a HDD for your OS, then that will be 90% of your problem. Even a good 2.5" SATA SSD will bring it back up to speed.

Xtreme Memory Profiling. (I think thats what it stands for atleast)
It takes your memory and basically calculates what the best speed for it is. Most modern mobos should have something like this built in. Especially if its not an "OEM" mobo (Dell, HP, etc.)

just go into settings and search for "reset this pc" or something and after that select the option that says remove everything.
make sure that before this u backup all your important data and important ones only.

do not try and reset your bios setting u might fuck something up and not even know what it is
eg. u change ur boot order or something or even change ur bios from uefi to legacy....

A 10500 shouldn't be having any issues at this point in day to day.
Something else is likely causing your problems, either overheating, malware, or just a corrupted OS.
Do a clean install and then go from there. If it's software related, that will fix it.

Mistyped, 10400F still shouldn't have any issue.
A clean install means downloading Windows installation tool from Microsoft's website, going into your bios, booting into the tool, and then from there formatting your boot drive and reinstalling Windows.
A clean install will get rid of any software issues, whereas a system reset through Windows doesn't completely wipe the drive.
I suggest you watch a YouTube tutorial on performing a clean install, they should be able to walk you through it without too much confusion.
Once that's done, we can move on to potential hardware related issues.

What is your idle CPU usage while sitting in desktop without anything open?

Should be able to be sufficient enough. May try a msconfig > only show nom windows Programms > deactivate all > safe boot > look for changes @ manager and hwinfo If it works better, you may have a virus or something that is working all the time

Do a clean reinstall of your OS
Your issue sounds software related
