Windows 10: Slow performance after Windows 10 1903 update

I installed update 1903 and now my PC is not only running slower but on startup it takes forever getting the wait circle. In addition to that I am missing the ability of using screen saver pointing to my picture folder. I get an error saying photo gallery has to be set up. I start photo gallery and it says that it is missing the sql express server 2005. I tried downloading this and receive two errors saying the install was bad.


I then looked at restoring the PC back to the update prior to 1903 and I get a message that says I may have to re-install some apps.


I have worked in software for over 40 years and whenever an update went out it worked, or we got fixes out within a day, which was very seldom because of what we called QA.


As big as Microsoft is I would think they would do Q/A on your systems before releasing them to the public, especially since the updates are basically forced upon us!
