My HP laptop is running very slow after the recent Windows 11 update. What can I do to fix this?

I had the same issue with my HP laptop. What worked for me was updating the BIOS and also reinstalling the latest chipset drivers from the HP Support page. After that, the performance improved a lot. You can also try disabling unnecessary startup apps—it makes a noticeable difference

If your HP laptop is running slow after a Windows 11 update, you're not alone this can happen due to outdated drivers, BIOS, or unnecessary background apps. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you restore performance:

Outdated BIOS or chipset drivers can cause performance issues after major Windows updates.

• Visit the official HP Drivers & Software page: Official HP® Support
• Enter your laptop’s model number and download the latest BIOS and chipset drivers.
• Install them one by one and restart your laptop after each installation.

Disable Unnecessary Startup Apps
