System slowed down after Windows update – any advice?

Tags: Windows

Hey everyone,
I recently installed the latest Windows update, and since then my system has been noticeably slower. Is this a common thing after updates, or is there something I should check or change in settings?

Also, I’ve been curious about the Windows Sandbox feature. Has anyone here used it? Just wondering how it works and if it’s useful for testing stuff safely.

Thanks in advance!

That’s not a common thing. Anything remarkable in task manager?

There is a known slowdown but it’s temporary.

It’s when the Windows indexer runs after updates. It will finish and then it’s back to normal.

HOWEVER if you have Hard Disk Drives, then may your God have mercy on you.
