Windows 10 Freezing After Latest Security Update
After the most recent Windows 10 security update, my computer started experiencing constant freezing issues. Before this update, the system was working normally without any performance problems.
The freezing happens during simple tasks, such as typing text, copying and pasting, or opening applications like Word and Chrome. When it occurs, the system becomes completely unresponsive for several seconds. Sometimes the entire interface freezes, and I have to wait for the system to respond again.
This behavior started immediately after the latest security update was installed. It feels as if the system is constantly struggling to process basic actions, which makes normal use of the computer very difficult.
Because of these freezes, even basic tasks such as writing documents or browsing the internet have become frustrating and unreliable. I suspect the issue may be related to the recent security update, since the problem did not exist before it was installed.
I would like to know if other users are experiencing the same issue after the latest Windows 10 security update, or if there are any known solutions or fixes available.

Many users have experienced issues after certain Windows updates, often resolved by uninstalling the problematic update or applying subsequent patches.
Hello,
Suggest you to run System File Checker scan:
- Search for 'command prompt' using Cortana or Windows Search.
- From results, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
- Type sfc /scannow command and press Enter key.
- Let the command complete and then reboot the machine.
If issue still persists, perform clean boot:
