Windows 10: Windows 10 time-delayed slowdown lag after the recent update - even after uninstalling the...

Hello,


I have encountered a strange bug in my Windows installation after the most recent update KB5001649. This is what I know:

• after restarting, everything seems to work normal for a minute or so
• then the bug kicks in and I have problems like:
  • time-delayed hover effects I move my mouse onto a button and the button highlight kicks in after half a second or so
  • dragging windows has a similarily time-delayed problem, where the window will "follow" the cursor after I move it
  • using programs like VS Code and Firefox will slow down the machine up to a point where I cannot do anything at all, not even close the window
  • at the same time, when I go back to the desktop, everything seems to have the normal speed, clicking on the "Start" button will bring up the menu at normal speed
• these bugs will not show up in save mode
• I have already deinstalled the most recent updates I cannot see their names now, as I am working in save mode but can name them if needs be
• My specs are:
  • Windows 10 Education
  • Version: 2004
  • Build 19041.1
  • 64-bit, x64-based processor

I would be very thankful for any help but there is a restriction for me: I am currently working on my final thesis and I've built up quite a complicated setup that I really, really don't want to rebuild right now as I am very close to my deadline. Anything including resetting my machine to a point where I have to manually reinstall applications and programs would be very much a last resort for me...


Thanks in advance,

Viktor

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Typing Lag after recent update

The issue might be driver-related. Check if there is an update that might have been missed after the recent update. To do this, follow the instructions below:

• Type Device Manager from the taskbar search box.
• Go to Keyboards.
• Double click on your keyboard device. A mini window will appear.
• Go to the Driver tab and check if there is an update that needs to be installed.

You can also try to use the other USB ports and see if there will be any difference.

Let us know if you still encounter this lagging issue after trying the suggestions.
