Windows 10: How to fix suddenly slow internet?

Hello, I hope someone can help. I have been having decent internet speeds until today when I am clocking 5-10mbps on download. Additionally, about once every few minutes especially when I'm streaming a video or on a call, my laptop will disconnect from the wifi and just not be able to find the network again for a minute. Is it possible that this is happening because of the latest Windows Update, which I installed last night 2022-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems KB5012592? I would be grateful for any steps I can take to improve my internet speed as it's currently

:)
