Windows 10: Internet insanely slow after KB5053606 update

Since the KB5053606 update, my internet has become infuriatingly slow, in many cases loading indefinitely or simply timing out when I try to access a new page. I tried several times to uninstall it, both via the Control Panel Installed Updates and via the PowerShell, but both times encountered an error where the update could not be uninstalled. My computer is rendered all but useless as a result of this update; how do I get rid of it?

Insanely slow HDD random read/write

I'm playing tech support for a relative, and her (ASUS K53E) laptop SATA HDD has insanely slow random read/write. Sequential r/w is around 74 MB/s, which seems fine, but random is around 1 MB/s. Hard disk health is fine according to S.M.A.R.T. Win10 1709 Pro x64. Pentium B960; HM65 Express chipset using the Microsoft Standard SATA AHCI Controller driver. Windows update doesn't have any driver updates; Intel driver tool returns nothing; Asus website has no Windows 10 drivers. I'm at a loss, any suggestions?
