First boot after monthly updates unresponsive

Hey All.

Wonder if anyone could suggest a way to analyze (to understand why this is like that) the following problem my computer has been having for few months now:

After monthly updates, on first boot and on first boot only, after I login, Windows is unresponsive. If I do reset / power off or Alt-F4 -> enter on desktop (have to wait long time for this to actually happen) then next boot everything seems fine.

Last time it happened, I managed to open Task Manager; it took a very long time to start. CPU utilization was showing 98-100% - and I couldn't get any more info than that. Sorting by CPU % or going in Details tab or Performance just hanged TM. I didn't have ‘show kernel times’ enabled at that time, so no way I could’ve seen if this is caused by system process anyways. Disk / Network / GPU / Memory didn't show anything unusual, only CPU utilization was high.

I obviously can't make this happen at will. It's more or less monthly thing, which makes it difficult to analyze.

So, here's the thing. I would like to find out why this is happening or in other words, come next Black Tuesday, I'd like to be prepared.

Suggestions?

Hi there.
Yeah, those things you're asking don't matter. Please read what I want in OP. Not to be an ass, but I don't want to fix without understanding, especially I don't want to do anything drastic like re-install fresh or not for minor inconvenience once a month. Also, I'm not without understanding how things work, so please cut the basics. Thanks.
Oh, and I'm truly sorry - I completely forgot about this thread - my bad.

Unfortunately no, it doesn't help. When this happens boot is as fast as usual - under 8 sec. Things get interesting only after I login (I've gpo to enforce Ctrl-Alt-Del) and it doesn't change if I let computer sit idle before I login - it has to be something to do with user process. Login in as different user (even one without profile) does not change anything. Nothing that explains this problem in event log either.
I was thinking it may be some MS shovelware apps get update or re-installed, but do they really peg CPU this much? How do I find out?

1) I suggest you roll back the update: https://www.howtogeek.com/235474/how...-on-windows-10
2) NEVER EVER install a freshly made update because M$crosoft treats you as a beta tester which means people install updates then they start complaining for this and that because updates are NOT 100% perfect ever.

I had my my previous Windows 7 SP1 system with all auto updates turned off which means I'm the owner of my computer (not M$crosoft) so I decide when to update only when I'm sure it doesn't mess with my computer.

It's difficult to take what you wrote seriously for the reason that you spell Microsoft with $. It's not 1995 anymore, not even kool kids use it. I however will try... once

1. Why?

2. BS. You need to support this claim. In my case, I had not have even single hiccup with monthly updates since NT 4 SP6. I do read what updates do and pay attention to experience of others.

Re your Windows 7 off topic... It is off topic.
