I have just upgraded to Windows 10 Version H21H1 but the system has become extremely slow. When I click on a program icon on my desktop, it takes quite a while for the program to open. And even web pages take a while to open and at times do not respond at all. What could be the problem or do I roll back to the previous version?

What surprisingly helped mw most was removing Mcafee altogether.
I tried quite a lot of things before that, and nothing really worked.
The moment Mcaffee was erased - everything went back to normal.
I must admit my problem was not as severe as smoe reported here, but everything was considerably and annoyingly slower, and now it's all back to normal.
Hope this works at least some of you...
Hi,
I have the same problem. Browser is stuttering and there are freezes when opening new tabs, apps.
Update: Microsoft has fixed this issue. They released a windows update and it fixed it.
Make sure that you are on latest update.
Hello Abhiporwal - Apparently Microsoft did NOT fix it. Today is 9/27/2021 and I just updated last night to 21h1 build 19043.1237 and it started up the old mouse cursor moving slower than Mollases in Antarctica.
I've been through this issue since Windows 10 first came out. Every time there is an update something fails and yet Microsoft won't let me chose to ignore updates., No Microsoft has to force itself on me like a crazed liberal.
It's not that easy to roll back updates in Windows 10 home sometimes that breaks things on its own.
This slow cursor movement is probably the most annoying.
Surprisingly enough when I boot up Linux the cursor works fine - wo go figure!
Microsoft always has some idiot give you a BS trouble shooting path that never works and then when it doesn't work they either blame it on you or go away and never really solve the problem.
Maybe someday Windows will catch on to Linux and realize that updates are to make things better, not break them when they work. Such a concept.
I have the same problem with slowness launching apps and even waiting for the keyboard to respond. I don't have these update
I also have a performance issue, but I don't have the updates mentioned in this post to test the theory.
Well I know my two AMD based PC's seem really lag now and have tried to update all the drivers. Actually the latest AMD drivers tended to crash graphics on one PC playing videos. I went all in on AMD Ryzen about 18 months ago and now wish I hadn't. I bought a cheap Intel PC desktop just to see if it worked better? Definitely have had no issues with it.
