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?

I was experiencing this very slow issue, slow to access hard drive, slow to access memory, looks like it thinks it only has one single processor and it would BSOD at times, particular using Google Chrome. After reading all of these articles on this issue. I updated my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1560 video driver from v451.67 to v526.47, reboot. I then updated my desktop to Windows 11, version 22H2 and all is ok again. This laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 with 24GB of RAM

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.
My windows 11 has also become increasingly slow, my windows account is ******@gmail.com, Roblox is one of the most notable as I used to get 40fps, maybe even 60. Now its 15 and my ping is wayyy too high. (2k to 450) I'm up to date though and I dont really understand. Hope I can get advice.
I've found that Win 11 is slower than Win 10, but when an update is downloaded and has not yet been installed, it becomes excruciatingly slow. I mean, I end up wanting to grab a sledgehammer and I fear that I will have a stroke cursing at my laptop. It seems these updates just put the brakes on the whole system until you relent and install. The problem is that these updates stop me in the middle of my work day when 5-6 people are waiting me to fix things for hundreds of customers. Today, before realizing an update was waiting for installation, I honestly said "I $#! HATE MICROSOFT" a good many times before deciding I should reboot before having a coronary. When I opened the start menu, I saw the sinister orange dot indicating an update was waiting, no wonder.
