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?

    With the 21H1 update I had the problem again.

    I fixed by reinstalling the motherboard drivers by taking them from the manufacturer's site. I reinstalling the SATA drivers of my motherboard went in place.

    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.
