iOS 13.1.2 broke iPad Air 2, not functioning

I installed iOS 13.1.2 on a iPad Air 2 that was working fine, and now it is completely non-functional. It will reboot, but it is EXTREMELY slow now. Apps won't open, it can't connect to iTunes, it asked for a bunch of logins but times out before they can register. I can't even log in to my AppleID.

Any suggestions?

My iPad Got "Bricked" By Updating to iPadOS 13.1.1 Maybe not exactly bricked in the classical sense, but close. I was on 12.4.2 and simply tried to update to 13.1.1. After it went through the install process it was very , very sluggish. On Hello, I would go to start setup, select next, then it would freeze and go back to Hello. Then I managed to get to WiFi, I chose mine, hit next, and it froze. This happened repeatedly and I had to restart several times. Somehow, after about half an hour, I managed to get to the new home screen. Every app I try to open shows the home screen for the app, then crashes. Every one. All the time. Unfortunately, nothing works except, weirdly, Apple News and Photos. Settings sometimes crashes, sometimes not, but when Settings does open many of the settings I try to use don't work anyway, especially reset. When I open iTunes on my computer and plug my iPad in, it's not recognized, so I can't restore the backup. I'm trying to figure out how to save this. Any ideas? Thank you.

I tried everything I could come up with, but I ended up having to totally wipe it/restore to factory settings, as you suggested.

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

Unfortunately you will need to fully restore your iPad to factory settings.
