KB5028166 is slowing down PCs, games
Beyond the enterprise world, gamers have also been hit by Windows 10’s July 2023 update. Several users reported their games and apps becoming laggy after the update.

“The latest update has slowed my PC to a crawl, with Chrome and other apps taking minutes to open. Webpages are often delayed or display a ‘page not responding’ message,” a user reported.

Users report that their games and apps have become noticeably laggy since the KB5028166 installation. Even popular games, such as Cyberpunk, that previously ran smoothly are now fraught with annoying loading pauses and disappearing icons, which negatively affects the gaming experience.

The update has generally slowed down systems, leading to a surge in user frustration. Users face performance issues even after attempts to restore speed by clearing caches, running system scans, and rebooting their devices.
