With insufficient information I start with the basics. The system may be
marginal on the other days. I would have asked about Event Viewer errors
but someone else had already asked. Getting users to answer questions
can be hit and miss depending on their understanding of technical terms.
Asking for very specific information like a Disk Defragmenter Report
makes it easy for other person to reply and can throw up all kinds of
useful background information, which you might otherwise find difficult
to get quickly. You will gather from what I have said that fragmentation
of files on the system partition is a small part of the information
being sought by that particular request.

How much RAM memory?

OP stated: "Four out of five days / week, it's just fine. Then all of
a sudden it is sluggish all day long and fine the next day."

Why would RAM only have a bad effect every fifth day?

I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report.

OP stated: "Four out of five days / week, it's just fine. Then all of

Why would a fragmentation problem only have a bad effect every fifth
day?
