Hi, my laptop is ideapad 5 2 in 1 14q8x9 ( snapdragon x plus ). I'm on windows 11 pro arm 25h2 26200.6725(release preview). Before update to 25h2, (24h2) my laptop can run and open app smoothly like identity V, codeblock, ... but after update to 25h2, it gets slow slow slower, about 20 times slower, it takes 10 minutes to open codeblock ( 3s before), and 2 minutes to open identity V ( ~5s )What should I do right now? I can't uninstall the update in windows update, and I dont wanna reset my laptop cause I did that last time by using lenovo oem recovery and it recovered all my partitions ( including my C:/ and D:/ ), if I dont do that and use iso from microsoft official website, my Ai features from my copilot + pc will gone, there will no click to do, no copilot, there's nothing at all, also my fingerprint gets slower when I restart my laptop, it will delay about 10s to use fingerprint, that's also be seen when I use windows hello in browser, it will show pin option only then for a while it will show the fingerprint option.

Hello,

Suggest doing an offline scan with Windows Security. Then in an elevated command prompt run:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

Follow up using Storage Cleanup and/or Disk Cleanup

Finally Defrag & Optimize all your drives. Find it difficult that the 25H2 Enablement would slow your system. It is very small. Suspect something else is going on.
