NT8 slow platform tech question

If someone tech savy could give an informed opinion to this issue I'd be really appreciative.
Is my below issue due to inadequate PC, Kaspersky interferance, slow internet, or limitations of NT8 platform

When I open a previously saved new work space it can take 1 - 2 mins to load.
When closing workspaces (and saving) my task manager goes into :"Not responding"...on and off for 1- 2 minutes until closing.See attached shots. This "Not responding" is what concerns me, alongside the long shut down, which kind of freezes NT8, until workspace has shut down. Every 3-4 weeks, NT8 will actually shut down totally

This happens (both) if I have 6 workspaces open and close one or only 2 open, and close one. CPU can spike from 15% to 80% or more. Memory varies between 4500mb - 5500 mb.

Each workspace contains 5-7 charts.
Tick charts 40 days loaded
Day/ Min (240 min upwards) 365 days loaded

I run latest NT8 platform version with Kinetik
Kaspersky application control is set to "Trusted" for Nt8
Have done a complete Kaspersky scan of PC and no issues.

Could the PC specs be a problem?
Intel i7-4790k 4.00ghz (yes it is an older PC)
16 Ram
SSD Harddrive (30% full)

Thank YOU for any feedback

That's a lot of data. Just for comparison I have one workspace with 7 charts. They only load one day's worth of data, although they're usually running tick replay. Every time you open up the charts are going to refresh and load up the cached data, and that will take a few minutes. So make sure you're only loading up data as far back as you look at or that your indicators need. It's also common for the data cache to get screwed up. Deleting the db and cache folders can force it to rebuild things. Even then it's still going to take a few minutes every time you load up, and that's not unusual.
