Windows 10: KB4549951 update caused Dell Inspiron 3668 desktop to freeze up, and become unusable

After installing KB4549951 update on my Dell Inspiron 3668 desktop with an Intel Core i3-7100, it froze up. I rebooted it and noted a scan of the hard drive started, which took some time to complete. After this hard drive scan completed, it booted into WIN10 successfully. But every program ran extremely slowly, so slowly that the computer became unusable. So via recovery I un-installed this latest update, rebooted twice and now my Dell Inspiron 3668 desktop speed seems to be back to normal - the computer seems to be working OK now.

NOTE: I also have an HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-00xx with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700. The KB4549951 update appears to have installed OK without causing any issues and it continues to work OK.


QUESTION..............:

Since the KB4549951 update causes my Dell Inspiron 3668 desktop with an Intel Core i3-7100 to become unusable, is Microsoft working on a fix to this update?

No it doesn't have a built-in Mic. Since it is a Desktop it has a Mic input.

KB4549951 causing issues

Ever since KB4549951 was installed on my Win 10, my internet speed has slowed to a crawl.

It even causes programs to freeze

I am about ready to remove it. What's the story?
