Computer slower since upgrading to Windows 11

[Napoli]

It might be my imagination, but my PC seems noticeably slower since upgrading to Windows 11. I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600X, 32GB Ram and an NVIDIA RTX 3080 GPU.

I have not installed any 3rd party drivers as Windows 11 has detected everything already. Should I be using the official drivers for each bit of hardware I have?

Is this a fresh install or an upgrade?

There is a bug with the release version of Windows 11 for users of some AMD CPUs, including yours:

I wonder if this is the problem in this case? If so, it's going to be fixed imminently.

Thanks you.

I have read up more and it sounds like this will affect my PC. I hope a patch fixes this soon!
