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 in my Case after inserting sfc /scan now command the scanning stucks on 47% percent .

    is it because of some issue in the hard drive or something else?

    yep, I did it, and everything back to normal completely. I think there is some conflict driver in new window version!!

    Hi,

    I have found that this disappearing and hesitating mouse is due to Microsoft's update installing what is called the; "Synaptic Mouse Driver." If you uninstall it and go back to your manufacturers mouse driver which is a lot smaller in size, that will solve the problem with the mouse. As for 20H2 being slower I am seeing that too. Still working on that issue. But I did solve the mouse issue.

    Thx man, that helped a lot!

    My system is now reacting as quick as it did before 20H2.

    To change page file size and doing Sfc and stuff was more like symptom treatment.

    I still feel the programs are opening a bit less quick, but now the lags between clicking on something and receiving a response is gone.

    I have to point out, that I had no problem with audio stuttering, but it was feeling like my system was running delayed.

    Could really be caused by the thread priority, this flag is impacting.
