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?

    Hi there.

    I don't know how to unsubscribe to this tread.

    I keep receiving replies.

    My problem was solved when I installed the next update.

    If somebody can tell me how to disconnect to this tread, I would appreciate.

    Never found the unsubscribe button on my scxreen.

    In Jan 2022 my computer (I5-7400 cpu) of 4 years failed, I had purchased a 12 generation CPU (I5-12400) with H610 motherboard as replacement, while still using old 16GB DDR4 RAM and old power supply. After setting up the new PC (I5-12400 cpu);
    (a) there is little lag on browsers and windows 10 applications;
    (b) little or no issue with backing up or copying old files;
    (c) no issue with uploading old files to OneDrive cloud storage;
    (d) no lag or incomplete video on Youtube, etc.

    Maybe the lags on previous PC could be caused by old/faulty motherboard issues.

    I wonder if lags after Windows 10 updates, have to do with latest software upgrades are built for newer generation hardware.
