Short answer: minimum system specifications are a very low bar. They're designed to get games running, but with functionally nothing special running. Have you set all of the eye candy off?
Long answer: any one of a dozen things. A slow system might be background processes, poorly optimized drivers constantly calling for data, a leak in the program memory, poorly optimized code, or any one of a dozen different things. If your system information is to be believed, you've got a Windows 10 OS on hardware that is the better part of a decade old. The likelihood you've got anything but generic drivers running things is low, which also might be crippling what performance is left in an old system.
Sorry, but we can't really help further than that. Without performance data "slow" means nothing. I've had people complain about a slow computer, and find that the CPU was thermally throttled because there was no air flow (looked like a dog exploded inside their computer). I've had other people have a cooler dislodge, and thermally throttle. I've even had some people running 100+ processes (they installed every crap application out there, and had enough bloatware to kill an elephant). Still other people set their graphics to high because their system "met minimum requirements," which they took to mean it would run everything at maximum settings. While I make no assumptions about your relative level of expertise, I can't rule out a simple slip of wits causing an issue. Most of the time, computer issues are actually operator issues.
