Answer 1

I have the same issue. Uninstalling KB5031356 now as that was the only change made to the system. My Ryzen 7 3700X CPU is stuck running at 0.54Ghz which explains the slow down.

Answer 2

I've experienced this as well. After uninstalling the update, machine is back to running perfectly.

Slowdowns included file explorer failing to respond. Application windows slow to load or open. Pages in my Orgs intranet and external web pages very slow to respond or load. Mouse cursor stutter when moving between screens. Higher CPU\Memory utilization.

I am on a work managed machine by GP with roaming profiles with anyconnect VPN connected.

Answer 3
