   At the end of my conversation with Copilot about the topic, it said the   
   following:   
      
   "The slowdown you’re seeing most likely stems from KB5068781’s security   
   hardening, not KB5072653. Microsoft isn’t optimizing Windows 10   
   performance anymore — only patching vulnerabilities — so overhead   
   introduced by these updates won’t be tuned away. That aligns with your   
   observation: Windows 10 feels slower after ESU updates, while Windows 11   
   continues to be actively optimized."
