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?

    I have a Surface 3 tablet which is ideal for light tasks when I don't want to lug the Surface Book around.

    It has 2GB ram, performs brilliantly.

    Until 20H2 came along. It is unusable.

    The only fix is to restore the earlier version and set the WiFi to metered to prevent it downloading 20H2 again.

    It s such a shame what has been broken as Windows 10/11 has developed (poor performance, touch gestures gone, stuttering browser etc).
