It’s already a known fact that theupdatecame with a lot of issues, but Microsoft tries to solve them with eachupdatepatchthey release.

AlthoughWindows 10v1903updatewas meant to improveperformanceand make things run smoother, in some cases it made PCs almost unusable, as one userdescribes the problem:

I installedupdate1903 and now my PC is not only running slower but on startup it takes forever getting the wait circle.

And he’snot the only one:

I have the same problem after 1903. UI interaction is lagging and slow. Everything from mouse movement to typing will often lag. The notifications centre on the left just topped working (sure a reboot will bring it back). It’s been like this for weeks now.

It seems like this is a recurring problem, and manyWindows 10users rolled back to previous versions of Windows just to get rid of it.

What can I do if my PC is slow after updating to Windows 10 v1903?

This is particularly weird, as it was reported on systems withSSDs.

If you have the same issue, you can try a cleanbootor a disk defragmentation and see if the issue persists. If that doesn’t work, you can always roll back to the previous version ofWindows 10.

Also, you can try aclean install, as it might solve the slowdown.

To completely avoid the problem, you canblock theWindows 10v1903updatefor now, and wait for a couple moreupdatepatches.
