Let's see what we can find.

Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST).
Choose the 32 or 64 bit version for your system.
and save it to a folder on your computer's Desktop.
Ensure that you are in an Administrator Account
Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Check the boxes as seen here:

Press Scan button.
It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and Attach it to your reply.
The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Hi, thank you for the reply.
So I have completed the steps as you explained to me. Here are the logs:

Hi,

That should do it.

You have less the 6% of free space available in your C: Drive.
ATTENTION: System Restore is disabled (Total:99.76 GB) (Free:1.51 GB) (2%)

The system restore cannot be enabled unless you have 6% or move of free space.
The fix will delete all the temporary files that should release some space. But possibly not enough.
You should as soon as possible copy your personal files to an external driver or Flash drive. Important if you use all you free space you are going to have major problems.
<<<>>>

Please download the attached Fixlist.txt file to the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The Computer will restart when the fix is completed

Ok thank you, but sorry, could you be clearer? I'm not sure what I should do. I would like to understand what is the problem. Are you advising me to reset the whole system?

 

[nasdaq]

No!

Please just follow my instructions.
What I'm suggesting is just some maintenance and the reset of some of the services.
If you need any help before proceeding let me know.
