The last Windows update made my computer five times slower than it was
This week I was prompted that Windows would end their support for my version of windows and that I had to install 20H2. I found it odd that some people already had that update since way before, but I...
Come on... "sfc /scannow"???
Everytime I tried using that "tool", it always ends up either crashing or finding no problem.
As to the "Clean Boot"... Really, you really think running your PC is safe mode is an acceptable answer to Microsoft breaking a previous clean installation that was fine?
The real answer is to provide the poster with the ability to undo this supposed upgrade.

Hello,
SFC /SCANNOW is the first troubleshooting step for most of issues in Windows. It is to identify and fix, if there is something wrong with system files. As Reza said, it is the basic troubleshooting gives good results in minimum efforts.
Clean boot is clearly not Safe Mode.

Reverting the upgrade is last option IMO, if basic troubleshooting options failed.
