Hello TMG1961,
in your task manager it shows this -
I looked on Google about this, from the results it seems to be you are running "Unattended Updates" from Linux Mint" ?
Are you running Linux Lite in Virtual Box as a VM, or dual booting with Linux Mint ?
From the Panel it shows the Cloud Server icon, are you connected to the cloud server ? (weather plugin?)
Have you tried disconnecting this and using Thunderbird ?
The envelope icon, is it an automated email checking software /plugin that is running (maybe from browser if synced) ?
What is the tick on the shield icon, a firewall other than UFW ?
Edit -
synced - Thunderbird can be synced to a browser profiles (I've never used these), as both Thunderbird and your chosen browser are slow, it is why I asked about this setting in Thunderbird and the browser.
Edit2 -
This link discusses from your Task Manager "Tumblerd" and how it can resource hog to over 90% on cpu cores https://askubuntu.com/questions/89826/wh...908#253908
This link discusses how Tumblerd is used to display icons in place of using Thunar, and that it should be disabled by default, or removed - https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=41004
Other than the searches I have not info or experience of this.
