Why did Windows 11 suddenly become slow?

I received notification from Windows a few months ago and upgraded to Windows 11. It was fast and smooth in the beginning, but in the last two-three weeks, it has become significantly slow. It annoys me a lot, simply file browsing has been painful. It takes forever to open a web site on Chrome. This never was the case before, my laptop used to be really fast. I am suspicious that this is because of recent Windows 11 updates. I just want to go back Windows 10 and have my laptop speed back.

Another issue in Windows 11 that annoys me a lot is the tabs in taskbar. They frequently disappear. For instance, if I have 5 apps open, suddenly all the icons in taskbar disappear and I have to restart file explorer to fix it.

How do I fix all these permanently, or go back to Windows 10?

    This is brand new pc. I also checked the temperatures, voltage readings, nvme firmware and benchmark. Everything is normal. But rarely everything is slowing down. When it slows i checked everything and all are normal. I suspecting there is a problem with Win11 latest updated version.

    I have a high end pc. It is working very quick and responsive normally. But sometimes it became very slow. When i investigate why is slowing down. There is not any clue. CPU, memory and disk usage very low but it is working very slow. If this three important hardware not causing slowing down how can i find the problem?
