New Windows 10 update making everything slow

nah, they just hire shotty 3rd world devs because the CEO is an assclown.

Remember when Windows 10 was first released ? The settings menu was a hot mess of broken english, India style.

So sad.. when they rule a market, they max profit by buttf*cking the software that made them giants.. Adobe is doing it too.. all corp software seem to be doing it to themselves in some manner.

I'm on a new system in 2021, a $2k laptop.

I own 9 computers, 8 of them are windows..and all of them have some WIndows 10 lag introduced in the last 6 months.

-- This site is garbage, there's NEVER a real answer nor real help.. just guesses from nice people or incompetent fools...

I've never read a successful thread here.

Windows 10 introduced some more **** in 2020 that causes system lag. It's feckin sad cuz they spy on us enough already.

Let me use my dam n computer without this insane lag that didn't exist until 2020!

MS needs to stop hiring 3rd world India developers as they **** everything up.

Stay away from feature update 20H2!

Like everyone else, my laptop (HP Pavillion) was failing to install any more updates due to reasons, so I bought a SDD for it, installed a fresh copy of WIN10 and it has been flying since. I ended up installing the 20H2 feature update and it is like this thing is trying to push electrons through molasses!

I have yet to decide on what to do with this PC, though I will probably blow it away again and give linux a whirl. I just hope the new PC I bought with WIN10 on it will give me a few days of operating joy. Until the next patch cycle I guess.

I can't help but think whether M$ is onto the same operating standards as Apple, by slowing down older devices and reducing battery life #conspiracytheory

Hi Koopuh. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

1. If this was caused by Windows Update(s) then you can check which were installed at Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update under Update History, then uninstall them from the link there, and immediately check for these again and hide with the Hide Updates tool explained here: https://www.howtogeek.com/223864/how-to-uninsta...

You can also use System Restore from within Windows to get back before the problem began, then check for Updates with the Hide Update tool and hide them: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-system-r...

2. Update your drivers and BIOS/UEFI firmware from PC or motherboard maker's Support Downloads web page, using the full model number, Serial Number or Dell Service Tag on sticker. Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.

Updating drivers from the Device Manager or Windows Update is rarely enough. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is keep the latest manufacturer's drivers installed from their Support Downloads web page.

3. Go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

4. If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, and is also the most stable method to advance to the latest version. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Actually, this is helpful at some point. Thanks for the detailed steps and advices. But, uninstalling updates don't work well. For example, I had the 2018 update installed. Around 5 times, I had to uninstal it. Because windows has some kind of problem. Yeah, I do understand that Microsoft is thinking about our safety and they care about out comfort. But what Microsoft actually does is to force us till some point, and when we don't update, the system updates by itself. This causes issues and I once almost missed my classes due to this issue. I'd be happy if you cound help about a solution except for deleting system files or uninstalling the windows update. Also if you want to know the update I have done, it's the 20H2 update. And, 1909 or whatever is it update also has the same issues. It basically makes everything laggier and I can't do things that I could easily do before.

First off, I want to thank you for taking the time out to email me what your experiences have been. But sorry to say I don't have DropBox.

Plus, I ended up wiping my system and reinstalled Windows Pro 10 and the updates went in as a whole, and as a result, it corrected my issue. On the final reboot my system went right in as it was doing previously to the update. My system is locked with a thumb drive key, and of coarse the key was inserted and it went straight in, instead of cycling for 30 minute just before it reached the login screen. That where my system would hang up. I am serious about it, just standing still for approx 25 - 30min, just cycling there with the working icon. 

I could go to the kitchen and cook myself breakfast before it eventually sign in. So that's what I ended up doing to fix this rig of mine, it blows my mind at how often the Microsoft updates are causing just as bad of a problem if not worse as if I was hit by a virus. It literally made me mad as **** do to the fact that I had to wipe my machine.

Good luck to all of you. Also, be careful out there with this dang virus out there killing so many people, it's devastating. 

Hi would this fix the unbearable lag from booting into desktop to being able to actually use the computer. 

Specs as follows

*Windows 10 64bit Pro 2020 release 

*1 tb hard drive 

*Amd Fx 4100 3.6ghz quad core processor

*32gb ram

*GA-970A-DS3P motherboard. 

Sever lag from first desktop showing to actually being able to open a program it takes 20-30mins to stabilise. During this time it Blue circles if I try and use it during the initial booting. As others have said 2020 may update is awful 1909 was just about usable. Any help would be great.
