I do not know - one of the First things I do is "kill all the Live Tiles"


I only have three live tiles going Microsoft's Weather, News, Calendar well four if the Store worked.

I don't have anyway to back this up just my perception but think my system is taking a third longer to settle down (driver activity) when starting after this move to 1909?   What do you think? Edit: Yeah I know "get an SSD you stupid idiot" but outside of that anyone think their system might be taking longer to get up to speed or level out?
 
Side note: Don't know if anyone knows but Xbox Game Bar was updated and one thing added was a FPS Counter with graph I have been checking it out and seems it works quite well.
 


I haven't noticed any difference after updating to 1909.  But I also have onedrive, indexing, live tiles, store, Windows search, among other things etc; all disabled.

EyeDeeNo: If you're having problems with Live Tiles, unpin the app and re-pin. Optionally, enter the app and continue with the initial basic setup if need be, setting the location (Automatic is ideal). Also, uninstall and reinstall the app of that doesn't work.

It could be it has something to do with the evolution of security of either paid antivirus software or something else?

It's just the MS Store and I have tried an assortment of vectors periodically to get it to work but also found that it's not just my system I see on other system the same and this Microsoft Store tile not live.
 
Edit: All is running better now. I ran Defraggler's boot time defrag again. Made space on the system drive, is down to last 100GB free space and was pushing into the 80GB range. Now cold start boot-up is back to 6-12 minutes instead of 18-26 was waiting. 🗿

It could be.  I haven't had any problem with the built-in Windows Security with the occasional run of Malwarebytes.  It will probably take some trial & error to figure out what your issue is.
 
And it could all be related to the problem you're having with MS Store.  I keep the Store disabled & just check manually now & then to see if there is anything I want to update.

Apparently this 1909 update has been hailed as the best yet , since it didn't significantly bork up as much stuff..
  Of course, that is kind of a low bar set - so ....

Windows 10’s November 2019 Update, also known as version 1909, is the best update to Windows 10 yet. It’s a small update that’s quick to install, doesn’t add any crazy new features, and isn’t breaking many things.
 
Since Windows 10’s release, Microsoft has issued a major new update to the operating system every six months, starting with the first November Update in 2015.

These updates have often been packed with major new features that needed more time in the oven, like My People, Paint 3D, and the Timeline. They make major changes to Windows 10, leading to incompatibilities with software and drivers. Some updates remove or move useful settings.

EyeDeeNo, good to hear.

I've ran into tiles not unpinning and appearing on top of each other over the years. The only way around that is a Windows reinstall. Optimizing the SSD and reinstalling the app from the Store or PowerShell did nothing. I had that the other day with a customer's laptop from the factory. I always do a fresh install for customer's systems when they're new laptops. I tried a few things on theirs prior to fresh installing.

However, the major Windows builds have gotten a lot better compared to before.
