Yep, yesterdays' updates caused 95% of all machines to freeze up at work..... I can't believe they don't wait 30 days for updating in a work environment but they don't , and paid the price .
 
1 hour plus waits to log in , random disconnects , freezing, crashing .... what a nightmare.
 
 
Microsoft and Sophos have identified an issue on devices with Sophos Endpoint Protection installed and managed by either Sophos Central or Sophos Enterprise Console (SEC) that may cause the system to freeze or hang upon restart after installing this update.

Hide updates in Windows 10
 
1. Turn on "Metered Connection"* in the Properties of your network adapter to prevent auto-downloading/installing of most all updates (There's only been a few that have snuck by on me though due to Micro$oft probably thinking they're that important to not be detected by the Show or Hide Updates tool used below.)
2. Turn off "Automatically download updates, even over metered data connections" in the Advanced options in Windows Update
3. Download the Show or Hide Updates tool from Micro$oft
4. Put the Show or Hide Updates tool on your root drive (C: or whatever) or a location of your choice
5. Run the Show or Hide Updates tool periodically to check for Windows Updates and to hide (or show previously hidden updates) the one's you want to be hidden from the normal Windows Update
6. Then run the normal Windows Update to install updates that you have not hidden with the Show or Hide Updates tool
 
That should stop (hide) most all updates and allow you to install only updates that you have not hidden..You can (like I did) hide KB4493509 that's causing some problems, and so it won't reinstall if you uninstall it.
 
If you want to run the Show or Hide Updates tool automatically on a schedule (such as daily, weekly, user logon, etc.) to check for Windows Updates, create a basic task for wushowhide in the Task Scheduler Library of Windows Task Scheduler, and checkmark to Run with highest privileges in the wushowhide task Properties.
 
Hiding updates is also good for hiding new drivers (such as a new Graphics Driver)
that Windows would install, allowing you to keep using an older driver version.
 
*A metered connection is an Internet connection that has a data limit associated with it. Cellular data connections are set as metered by default. Wi-Fi and Ethernet network connections can be set to metered but aren't by default. Some apps might work differently on a metered connection to help reduce your data usage. Also, some (most all) updates for Windows won't be installed automatically.

For some reason this update failed to install on my system multiple times now.  I finally had to stop it from trying.

For now I didn't had problem with these last updates... But it's directly installed 1809 in April.
Who knows what would happen if someone start installation from CD Windows 10 Pro 64bit.
