I there anything else I can try? Because I want to do the repair install as my last resort.

Visit the following web site and read through it;

Uninstall Uxtheme Multi-patcher 8.0 Completely - How-to Removal Guide

I advise against using 3rd party tools in these situations. Many of them are nothing more than snake oil. There is a FixIt download link (see image) which is a MS tool in the article; it may be worth a try.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll have a look.

Also, just to add, I think the delay is not caused UTP...

Yesterday, I decided to turn off my PC for nearly a whole day and now turning it on, I'm not experiencing the delay.
To add on, I usually turn on my PC and leave it on for at least 2~3 days straight without turning it off or putting it on sleeping mode. During these time I restart my PC time to time for fresh start and its here that I experience some delays.

Does this have something to do with the delay?

I am not certain I understand your statement. If you mean that when restarting the system and immediately using it you experience some delays, that is the opposite of what normally happens. Reboot/Restart usually results in better performance because there is less load on the computer.
