I booted up PC this afternoon and was able to open start without a runtime broker.exe error. I need to open start and boom runtime broker.exe error. Click OK and it goes away and allows me select setting. More of an annoyance than anything else for me. Wish Microsoft would address this issue.

Ive had some partial success, bare in mind this is working with fresh clean install off a USB disk 1803  created today so is the latest version.  Fresh install with all drivers only from MS and all updates error still occurred.  Ive managed to get the HP laptop to boot and if you wait about 5 seconds from desktop you wont get the error opening 'settings', if you open it immediately on desktop you will still get it.

I removed 'skype' app from apps and features.

I disabled 'Onedrive' from running at startup.

I also disabled 'tips and notifications' from system (this had no effect on its own)

I trimmed down 'msconfig' 'services' (hide microsoft) to bare minimum, also disabled notifications from defender and stopped onedrive here also.

The first two made the difference, the laptop boots so much quicker but this error does occur if you try access settings immediately after booting, not if you give it a few secs.  The operation of the laptop is now so much better but the problem is not rectified fully.

From what i read 'runtimebroker.exe' had a revamp in version 1803, it now runs separate instances for every app rather just one instance, the overheads always appear to come from 'system services' when viewing 'performance'.

I cannot believe there are hardly any other posts about this, ive been looking for weeks since 1803 was released and this problem surfaced, i guess its a case of either being patient or hoping for the update fix.

Mark,

I agree with you. This issue started to appear after my upgrade to 1803. It disappeared until today after Microsoft pushed out there 2018-6 CU. I cringe every time Microsoft pushes out an update because i know that something will get screwed up.

This isn't really a valid fix, the error does not occur in version 1709, ive installed 1803 on over 100 pc's and I would say 80% of them have this error after a clean install.  Its a major step backwards in my opinion and not really fit to be put out to market place.

As a reseller this will cause no end of support problems for me so I refuse to use it until its fixed. 

The problem sometimes goes away after windows updates, but not on the majority of PC's, this is on brand new model laptops namely the HP 255 G6 range which is new model with AMD A6 CPU. 

If the fix is that simple why does Microsoft not disable these features from boot and give the choice to enable?
