The latest Windows 11 updates make my laptop extremely slow; when I turn off AVG, everything improves

Since November 11th, the updates have made my laptop slow. Web pages won’t load, and programs take a long time to open. I have a 10th-gen i7 with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce 250, but it’s performing like an i3 with 4GB… a complete disaster. However, when I turn off AVG, everything improves.”

It’s not a VPN issue, because everything improves when I turn off AVG Internet Security.
