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.

2017-10-31T19:14:16+00:00 I observe the same issue after clean install of Fall Creators Update. My Core i7 sounds like a crazy helicopter after clicking any hyperlink in Edge browser.
Also! The same behavior when clicking "Cortana & Search" in Setting in "More Details" section.
