New Windows 10 update making everything slow

Anonymous

So apparently Windows decided to automatically update itself while I was away from the PC. When I’m trying to log in, it takes ridiculously long (around 30-40 minutes). So I tried restarting, but startup is SUPER slow to the point that I’m stuck waiting for a black screen of death. Why is my PC slow after this recent update?

    why windows 10 is very slow 2021?

    ,,, your "frequent updates" made windows 10 very slow instead of making the system efficient.

    ,,,  Microsoft should fix this problem in the next update!🤬

    I am also facing the Same Problem and I got a New SSD. Now, tell me the Reason. I don't want to do a Clean Install and none of your Steps Work.

    It is like using a Hard Disk again Earlier Microsoft could not control Disk Check from Running every time you boot up your PC reducing our SSD's Life now PC is slow as if using a Hard Disk.

    Imagine the feelings felt by the ones using Hard Disk when Microsoft screwed up Performance. Their Valuable Time is being Wasted and Microsoft doesn't even Care. I don't think that spending Rs. 15,000 (I live in India so Indian Currency. In our Country, this much money is a LOT) was good idea. Windows 7 had better Optimizations than this.

    Your instructions to resolve the major lag time since the Jan 2021 Win 10 updates are over my head, just  home user; know the apps but not tech savvy.  So who is paying my IT bill every time Windows decides to screw up my programs? Halft the time even Start window doesn't stay visible long enough select an app. Other general problems with all of my Office 2016 programs; even selecting a file or function; inserting objects is screwed up, on both Publisher and PowerPoint; problems formatting Excel spreadsheet cells.  I'm really frustrated.  No problems before the January updates.
