Windows 10: Windows update made my computer slow. Help me I don't know how to fix it!

I've recently bought this new computer with and have used this for quite a while now. When I start it up it is a Windows 10. I played some games on it without any issue and no lag but when I updated it yesterday (15/2/18) since I had nothing else to do and I'm not using my computer for anything. After the update I notice that whenever I played my games, it became very laggy. Even those games like roblox where it runs smoothly on the laptop. Please help me. I tried reinstalling the game and all but nothing happen. Don't worry about the discord as before the update it was also like that but no performance issue. Please help me.

Do windows updates slow down the computer?

Very late to this one . . . but of course Windows Update slows your computer. It's not rocket science. Updates are patches . . . added code. The more code your computer is required to read and process, the longer it's going to take to do it. The more bloated the code, the more RAM it requires.

Or let me put it another way: most people update or replace their computers because they are 'getting slow'. Computers don't get tired with age - what could possibly be slowing them down?

Windows Update and driver updates are the worst culprits. And the general advice to always update software and drivers is misguided.

There are a million different configurations of PCs in the world. Microsoft and other manufacturers cannot test the software on every spec. Over time problems are discovered running software on specific hardware. e.g. Windows 10 running Firefox from an SSD, using intel HD graphics on an AMD dual core processor will hang if Adobe is installed.

Microsoft or Intel with issue a patch to fix this. This patch will installed on every machine regardless of its configuration. So, even if you don't use Firefox, have an SSD or a dual-core processor your machine will run whatever patch code to accomodate the non-compliant configuration - thus slowing the system down.
