Has This happened to anyone else? No matter what I try to do it freezes and glitches. I just typed this or and keyboard was a few words behind.

Happens with any app..anything I try to do it take more than 2 minutes to do any one action.

I felt like Beta 5 and 6 made my P2 faster, super smooth and responsive. The release of 10 has slowed it back down to pre beta :(

Something doesn't sound right. You may want to do a factory reset. If that doesn't help, then consider manually reinstalling the firmware.

Check to see if WiFi or Bluetooth scanning in Location are active. Updates can re-enable those features, which can drain the battery.

Often times, after an OS update, features like wifi and Bluetooth scanning are re-enabled. If you want those enabled fine. But the scanning does consume battery, and could affect performance.

Do you know if it's better to have them on or off? I never know what to do with that setting

They're used to improve location accuracy, so if you find that your location isn't very precise on Google Maps, you could try turning those on. I've never noticed any problems with accuracy, though, so I keep them off.

The only thing I've noticed with my P2XL is the battery doesn't last as long as being the Sept. update, I switched to dark mode too...?'s
