I just updated my MacBook Pro 2020 from 12.6 to 12.6.1. Now my mac:
I already reset PRAM And SMC.
How can I fix the above issues?

Low or slow?
The update won't slow down the machine. Already installed incompatible optimizers, VPNs, and lack of space are all contributors to computer slowness.
To find out if you have something installed that could be slowing you down, Etrecheck will help you isolate background applications, and give a report you can post here. Follow the directions on this link:
Etrecheck - the handy reporting tool for … - Apple Community
41 GB is insufficient free space for a 1 TB drive. You need to maintain at least 150 GB free on a 1 TB drive to avoid the system constantly rewriting its cache and swap files. This 15% rule is arbitrary, but has never failed me in my 38 years of computing with hard drives.
You have yet to post the requested EtreCheck report. Everything you have mentioned points to some third party software interfering with the normal operation of macOS. We cannot assist you if we don't have the relevant information about your system that the EtreCheck report will provide for us.
Slow.
To clarify and provide a bit more context:
My work MacBook Pro has 16gb Ram and 256GB disk, with xxgb free. I also have an external Samsung X5 Portable 1TB SSD disk with all of my work documents in it.
Everything I had installed on my work MacBook Pro was just running fine before the upgrade.
I just did the upgrade as suggested by the system preferences app, following the instructions.
At the end of the upgrade, after reboot, I had this bad surprise.
The Mac was so slow that it was unusable. I could just force power off.
Then I did PRAM and SMC reset.
I could notice a small improvement, but still the Mac is extremely slow, and many app don’t start or, after start, they are not responding.
Xxgb free = 41gb
in Safe mode behavior is much better.
nontheless before upgrade all apps that were starting at launch were not creating problems
To give you an idea of how much slow, every click I do, I have to wait about 40 seconds to see the Mac reaction to it.
update to 12.6.1 has almost killed my macbok pro
