Windows 10 20H2 feature update causes lags, freezes, slow performance

I installed the Windows 10 20H2 update about a week ago, and since then my computer constantly freezes. These tasks aren't computationally demanding - watching videos in the browser or Spotify etc. I read there were some known issues with the update affecting network connectivity as well as general performance issues, but I've tried to install the patches for this and they're "not applicable to my device".

I have a series of driver updates but nothing else in my "optional updates" section. Should I try these? Are there pending patches for this update yet to be released? Worst case scenario, can I just roll it back completely?

    Hello, I had this same issue for a while but I figured out what might be the culprit.

    I updated my motherboard drivers in which I have not updated since I built my pc, and after doing so the problem went away.

    I have a MSI x470 Gaming Plus Max motherboard.

    Hope this helps.

    I used driver easy app to update almost all the drivers in my computer(sata, motherboard ect). After a restart the problem goes away. Now my machine runs faster than 1909 version.
