My laptop works so slow after update on 8/19/2024

[inspectorcrepe]

After the update on 8/19/2024, my laptop has been operating very slowly. That evening, after shopping for cruises, I completed a required Microsoft “update and shutdown.” When I turned it back on, it became extremely slow, with long delays between clicks and responses (e.g., the Start menu wouldn’t pop up, and the browser wouldn’t open). A Webroot scan showed no threats. After turning it off overnight, the next morning it was extremely slow to start up, taking forever for the taskbar to open, and continued to process slowly with the cursor just spinning. The laptop worked perfectly before this update. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?
