Anyone else noticing slower performance after the latest Windows update?

Tags: Windows

Hey everyone,
After installing the most recent Windows 11 update, I’ve noticed a bit of lag, especially when opening apps or using File Explorer. Just curious if others are experiencing something similar or if it’s just my system acting up. I’ve already run a virus scan and checked Task Manager, but nothing unusual stands out.

Would love to hear if you’ve seen the same or have any tips.

Thanks.

System slowdowns grow after Windows 10 update

The latest Windows update has slowed down performance for many users. Background processes, driver conflicts, or compatibility issues may be to blame. It may be helpful to check for updates and restart your computer.

All good here.

Then again, no hard drives, the usual i7 64GB RAM SSD setup.

No issues at all for me. I upgraded from Windows 10 to 11. Typically, older systems encounter such issues. My current computer was purchased about 10 months ago. Usually due to outdated drivers or not fully compatible/failing components from my experience.

About 2 days ago, my desktop computer got the latest Windows 11 update. I haven’t noticed any difference in my computer’s performance from before and after the update. Now that I have the update and have had it installed for more than 24 hours, I thought I would update my experience.

I’ve noticed a bit of lag too after the update — especially while launching games like Stardew Valley. Seems like a system-side issue.
