The reporter’s own “test” proves this is caused by faulty drives unable to sustain the speed they advertise, not Windows.

    Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?

    Maybe ? I know R/W speeds used to be a lot slower in Windows than Linux but I thought they fixed that a few years ago.

    That's mostly related to Windows Defender intercepting reads and writes and hasn't truly been fixed.

    Sometimes it's literally faster to read a database using WSL than the native system.
