New Windows 10 update causes system freezes and performance degradation
Some Windows 10 (2004) users have encountered an issue after installing the recently released cumulative update package, according to online sources. We are talking about periodic “freezes” of the system, as well as a general decrease in performance. Fortunately, Microsoft developers have responded quickly to this problem and have already released a corresponding fix.
In May of this year, Microsoft released the Windows 10 May 2020 Update or Windows 10 (2004), which remained in optional status for about two months, and after that, it began to be forcedly distributed among platform users. It turned out that in a number of cases, installing the recently released cumulative updates for Windows 10 (2004) leads to all sorts of problems, including system freezes and overall performance degradation.
There have been many reports on the Microsoft support forum that after installing the latest cumulative update for Windows 10 (2004), user devices have become slower and sometimes completely freeze. In the event of a freeze, the system stops responding to any actions and the only option to return it to a working state involves a forced reboot of the OS.
The reported issue is reportedly related to a bug in the TCP / IP driver. You can fix this error using the KB4580364 package. This update is optional, so users must install it themselves. However, in the future, this update is likely to be included in the regular Patch Tuesday roll-up.
