Windows 10: Input requested - troubleshooting significant slowdown after last update

Hi folks,

Hoping for some help here as I am stumped. After updating to Windows 20H2 my laptop is significantly slower and I can figure out what is going on. I don't have particularly deep knowledge of PCs but know enough to have tried a all of the suggestions found on google. I have done a clean boot that didn't help, ran various fixes through the command prompt, and a few other things suggested on Microsoft's site.

My computer is a Lenovo Legion that is ~3.5 years old, so specs are not the issue. Plenty of RAM and storage, though when I first updated I had my SSD almost full of games. Everything I do with the computer is slow - chrome loads slowly, games take forever to boot, startup is slow. Also, I often have to manually toggle off/on the wifi to get it to connect after a restart.

Any other ideas I should try? I am not tech savvy enough to understand what that various potential causes of this could be. Please let me know if there is more info I should be providing here, thanks!
