High CPU usage in state repository service after clean install of Fall Creators Update while online via ethernet

Why do apps including Microsoft Edge and Settings freeze when clicking on hyperlinks and make CPU usage reach 100% on state repository service after a totally clean install including deleting all partitions of the Fall Creators Update while online via Ethernet.  The only fix is to reinstall the ISO media with the Ethernet cable unplugged and wait until the OOBE setup asks for the region before reconnecting the Ethernet cable.  I have to physically unplug the Ethernet cable from the router to prevent it from accessing the internet during the first just a moment phase of the OOBE setup before the region setup.

    @AlexLouka_508

    Thanks so much! I been pulling my hair out since Installed fresh..

    Any external link i.e help buttons, URL's in chat or hyperlink takes like 20 seconds to open in any browser and it chows the CPU.

    What's strange is that chrome was my default browser and when i repaired and reset MS Edge, it worked flawlessly.

    Whoever is reading this, just try this.

    1- type in windwos searsh " MSCONFIG " 

    or pres windows key + R 

    and write " msconfig " 

    2- select services tab and searsh for  "state repository service"

    and disable it (uncheck it)

    3- restart your PC 

     Sorry for my bad English

    "Repair" Edge and disabling "Open sites in apps" helped me to resolve the issue.

    Both are not helping and state repository service is still taking half of cpu performance too its affecting games and casual browsing but when i downloaded google chrome i can use it eventhough state repository service is taking up half of the cpu but as i said its very lagging
