Windows Repair 4.4.1
ComputerJunkie:
When I just got the 1809 update the other day, it was what messed up Windows Defender. I had LOTS of issues with WD after the update to the point it would not start, lag, freeze, not load and all kinds of weird things.
I also had a LOT of other issues with the computer, i.e., the time zone, date/time format, brightness icon removed from the battery, certain missing files, other changed options, Admin permissions being blocked when trying to move files... that had me in a fit!
I had not used WR anywhere near this update.
I tried to use WR AFTER the update and could not get the Safe Mode w/networking to work.
Instead, I had saved everything to an external HDD and reinstalled ver. 1809 a total of 3 times and it finally worked itself out, except for the Admin rights-very strange, but I think I have gotten past it (I hope?).
I am interested in trying the new 4.4.1 version, now that I have Win 1809 working but I am still reinstalling a few other programs that I need first.
So far, the computer is working great, now...almost better. lol
On the other hand, I helped another friend around the same time, over the phone, get their installation going and they also have an older machine and their 1809 update went on without a hitch-go figure! My guess? They probably don't change much to their computer so MS knew what to do, so to speak.

I reran 4.4.1 and now I have MORE issues than before.

I have a laptop which is in the process of updating to 1809 so it could be some time before I will be able to test run 4.4.1 on it.
What other problems do you have ?
The repair program auto creates a registry back up before it runs the repairs.
Can you see if you can boot into the advanced options and then Safe Mode with Networking by pressing and holding SHIFT throughout a restart ?
I'm not sure if you will be able to access your restore points then but you can use the repair program via Backup Tools to use the Registry Restore option to see if that will get you back if your restore points still don't work.
Use the dropdown to select the backup before you ran 4.4.0

Leave 4.4.1 for now unless you create a system image first.
If the machine is running fine then there's no need to run the repair program.
When you say you have/had admin problems - what were they ?
ComputerJunkie:
For some reason, when I was trying to transfer folders/files (personal data) from my external hard drive to my computer there were some files that the message popped up saying I needed Admin rights and I didn't even get the Continue button, skip button or anything.
The status window had no other options on it at all. Only choice was to click the X at the top of it.
Granted I did not need these files, but you know when you make webpages and such, there will be both Mac and Win files in the folder, it would not allow the DS_store files (I think that is what they are called?) and encrypted files/folders to come over. I had to transfer anything encrypted as unencrypted.
I have never had those problems in the past so it got quite frustrating. I finally pinned it down to the exact place it was happening and deleted those files so I could move forward.
There was something else I was trying to do...I will have to try to remember what it was, it was on the computer itself, and it also told me I didn't have Admin rights. But, when I went to the user account all the green checks were on for the different permissions...
Oh! Another weird thing, I forgot. Granted I did not have to put the Win license Key back in, but the nickname of my computer was changed. It used to be PCAdd and now it changed to Compu - again not a big deal, but it still happened. And the timezone issue I mentioned on the other thread.
Oh! And one more thing, when doing this update, when it walks you through the setup, it forced me to choose a PIN, which didn't happen before. There was no option to do it later, say no thanks or nothing.

I uninstalled 4.4.1, reinstalled and ran 4.4.0. I have now returned to the following issues:
1. Windows Update Service will NOT start due to a DLL Routine failure (error 1114). Prior to running 4.4.0 for the first time, Win Update Service would begin to start and then fail without any error code or information.
2. Win Defender will NOT start.
Windows Build is 10.0.17134 which I believe is Version 1803
