What is going on with that update?
I installed it and now my PC freezes like a hell with no usage at Task Manager!
There is no 3rd party apps, problem in Windows. And it seems like MS doesn't care about that. Awful.
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?

This is very painful. :(

2021-05-08T01:38:23+00:00 same problem here using 20h2 with a completely new pc, my mouse stutters when moving and freezing, updated all my drivers and reinstalled the system, but none of that resolved, when I open the task manager the stuttering decreases, but after a while it returns. this problem is already driving me crazy!
