Following my January Win 10 OS hard drive failure, I see that "1809" is listed as a failed installation on the date I received the replacement hdd and restored a backup copy. Subsequent to that, I see the "1809" update successfully installed about 2 weeks afterwards.

I saw no slowdowns. If anything, it has sped startup and shutdown a noticeable bit.

For the record, the dead hdd and the replacement were identical so that should not have been a factor.

I did have to change back some security and privacy settings following the "1809" update - so you might want to check that out once you fix your current problem.
