Windows 10: How can I fix numerous issues since the Windows 10 August 22, 2023 update?

I have an older Dell desktop with IntelR CoreTM i7-3770, 64-bit with Windows 10 Pro. It has been a good machine for my needs. Since the last Windows 10 update, the Chrome browser hasn't behaved properly. Paramount Plus also hasn't been the same since the update, I'm not in a position to purchase another PC. SSI is not enough to live on. I can't even afford a discounted PC from PCs for People. So could someone please tell me what I can do to fix this? Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Does anyone have a desktop PC tower that is better than what I have they would like

:)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
