What should I do about severe lag after updating to Windows 11?

After a system update, severe lag occurs: programs start slowly and frequently become unresponsive. Conventional cleanup methods have been tried but are ineffective, and rolling back the version is not possible. How should this be resolved?

    Sometimes, additional updates or patches are released shortly after a major update to fix bugs. Go to Settings > Windows Update and click Check for updates. Install all available updates and restart your PC.

    Update your graphics card and chipset drivers, and adjust the power plan to High Performance mode in Power Options.
