Every task on my PC just went to slow mode, games took double or more time to play a turn.
So tried one or two simple fixes first, before deciding to removing the last Windows 10 update.
Everything now working again as normal.
One of the last Windows update was to fix one of the security flaws inherent in Intel chips. The one from this week, for instance, cause intermittent blue screens of death (BSOD) on my PC. After three more updates in the same week, it is now fixed. They say the new patch might make some PCs slightly slower, but I've seen no difference in mine.
It's important to run updates and use the latest operating system, but also always a good idea to make sure you have several restore points saved to go back to if problems arise.
I'd try the Windows update again, if I were you. You can always keep going back until the problems resolve.
