Computer is slow after Windows 11 22H2 update

Hi~

I installed the new Windows 11 update (22H2?) this morning and suddenly my computer is running super slowly. Any browser I use is slow, and videos take very long to load. And many programs and even file explorer suddenly freeze for several moments. My wifi also randomly stopped for a few seconds.

My laptop was running just fine until today's update and now it's frustratingly slow and glitchy. Any suggestions? Or is it possible to uninstall the update?

Thanks!

    Hello,
    I never complained about any update slowing my computer down but I know it is this 22H2 update. I don't know what specially, but when I go back to 21H2, I get my performance back.

    So here is a screenshot of my HP laptop at work: Spectre X360 2020 I7 1065G7

    This CPU boosts @ 3.9Ghz one core and 3.5Ghz all cores.

    Also set to "gaming" and "performance power mode" in Windows;

    At 100% usage the CPU starts rendering @ 3.5Ghz then slowers -0.6Ghz after 5~10 seconds of stress. That is at least what is happening to my CPU... SINCE THE UPDATE!

    I allready tried everything I could, the problem doesn't come from a user error.
    I took pictures after 2 full reset/reinstalled Windows.. 22H2 two times; It is happening all the time (reproducible)

    Happened to me as well. Especially file explorer, but only sometimes slow on my work PC and laptop. As long as still usable is fine

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Gonna give that a try.

    As for the Windows update - I went ahead and reverted to the older version. Problems instantly solved.

    I'll have to look into the other fixes before I decide to reinstall the update. I'm sure the newer version has benefits, but all the problems that came with it were a pain.

    I had the same problem and it's actually GeForce Experience that was doing this, update to the beta 3.26 version fixed it.

    Delete all possible tasks registered under task scheduler.

    Disable startup objects.

    Delete temporary files.

    Use disk cleanup manager to delete unwanted files.

    Use system configuration, enable all cores while bootup.
