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.

    There appears to be a bug in the fall creators update standard image.  There's a ton of users who are reporting the same thing (check reddit for example).  I think we'll need to wait for Microsoft to issue a bugfix for the issue.

    Oh one more thing:

    "To disable high startup impact on your CPU, just go to the Startup tab, select the name of the program that has a high startup impact, then click on Disable."

    This is a system service which cannot be disabled.  It's also set to manual start so it's being called by something.
