Video slow and lagging with audio synch problems after 10.15.7 update

All of my video applications are running slow and erratically after OS Catalina 10.15.7 update. The update basically broke my new Mac Mini that I purchased this summer. Any Ideas?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Thank you. The Combo updater is a solid idea that I forgot to try but the problem ended up even simpler than that. I just needed to reset my SMC following these steps:

1 Unplug the power cord from the back of the Mac.

2 Wait 15 seconds, then plug the power cord back in.

3 Wait 5 seconds, then press the power button to turn on your Mac.
