1709 or 1803

After having some on going small problems with 1709, I decided to reinstall 1709. The problems was, The WU was trying to install 1803. I proceeded to hide 1803, but when I did, the WU was disabled. MS made sure that you have to update or lose updates. I bit the bullet and just did a clean install of 1803. Everything is working good, except for IE11. I was getting a lot of not responding before, now it's on a reg basis and all day on multiple sites. So upgrading to 1803 made IE11 more unstable. I even tried to turn off/on with no luck. Tried resetting to default and still doing it. I installed Chrome and no not responding and much faster. Thinking about just sticking with Chrome. Tired of IE problems.

IE is 23 years old. In browser/dog years, that's about 161 years old. Even a massive facelift wouldn't help. Stick with something a bit more modern. There are tons of alternatives.

I use IE regularly and it works fine in 1803 so IE must be the symptom, not the cause of your problems.

Then, you have any solutions/ I've been plagued with this for awhile now and have tried all the tricks to no avail.

Well, obviously not 'all the tricks' else it would be working by now You said earlier...

...which I read as meaning you had similar problems before you installed 1803. What add-ons do you use? Chances are it's an add-on that's causing you grief. To confirm this, try running IE without any add-ons. To do this, either create a new shortcut on the desktop or use WinKey+R to open the 'Run' box and type the command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

If IE has no problems when run like this, then you need to disable each add-on in turn until you find the culprit.

How does IE behave if you use the command I gave you to run it with add-ons disabled?
