    Try going back to a previous stable version of the driver and check if you run into the same issue.
    You can also look up and check if the Game you are running have previously shown these behavior among st other users and if there are possible solutions for the same.

    Could be due to multiple issues.

    1. Not enough RAM
    2. CPU
    3. Disk Usage at 100% (Hard disk or just windows services)
    4. All of these
    5. Resource hogging softwares or malware running on the background.

    I Did recently upgraded from 1803 to 1903 using the ISO file downloaded from MS. 
    You can boot from the ISO and Use Upgrade option to install it. I did the upgrade option. Running it on a USB while inside windows will throw the error as you mentioned due to it being on a USB. You won't have to remove any thing if you boot from the usb and upgrade it that way. Or Try mounting the ISO on windows and upgrade it from within.

    The media creation tool does downloads the latest updates and drivers required by your system if those are available before preparing the medium to upgrade your system. 
    W10 Does contains a fairly large amount of basic drivers for devices and will also tend to download latest versions through windows update once installation is done. You can also try using something like driver booster or such to download the latest drivers for your hardware at once.

    Screen reacted to indrora in New Windows Terminal - tabbed, emoji-capable Windows command-line experience.   
    Lots of reasons. It's useful to remember that emojis are, internally, characters like the latin letter a, the greek letter ζ, the cyrillic letter Д, the ideograph ヅ, or the arabic script letter ك.
    There's a lot of things that Conhost (the process that hosts the shell itself) has had in the past that have been broken. For instance, for a long time, if your system was in English (US) and your WSL environment happened to be in English (Germany), all sorts of tools would produce garbage until you changed your windows locale to English (German).
     
    So, the reasons to bring up full Unicode support in the terminal:
    Lots of dev tools use emoji -- for a variety of reasons. Python and Node tooling especially love emoji, since the languages have native support for any unicode character. Swift as well, since you can name a variable an emoji. Mixed-locale software is easier to use in WSL. Tools like ssh and such work fine Japanese users don't need a butchered environment where you have to mentally translate from \ to ¥ Japanese text renders correctly in mixed-widhth (half/fullwidth) environments Bidirectional users can have working bidirectional text (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew, etc.) Powershell cmdlets for Active Directory can now easily take the name "Martin Grüßer" without silly hacks to make it work Emoji here is really a happy side effect of having full unicode support and fallback font rendering. This means tools like PoSh Git can use arrows and other unicode characters when you are ahead/behind/etc.

    What was miss from the new entry is that that Windows Terminal is one thing coming new, but also the Windows Command Line Infrastructure is being rewritten (and also open source).
     
    At BUILD Microsoft talked about how the back of a Terminal/command line works in Windows and Linux, and explained why they wanted to started new, and change the Windows Command Line infrastructure.  Here is the event talking about, it is pretty interesting:
     
    Watching the video you'll understand why, also, if you want to try new Windows Terminal, you need to be on the (at the moment of wittering) latest Insider version of Windows 10 (past May 2019 Update that coming up). And you'll also see why it would be theoretically be possible to now have a Linux made Terminal, be able to run under Windows and interact with the OS, despite not being designed for Windows.

    This program is basically just a tabbed UI which lets you open up cmd, PowerShell and the Linux terminal (Windows Subsystem for Linux) inside one program.

    Those two blue arrows means your files and folders are compressed by windows.
    You can change that by going to Properties -> Advanced and unchecking "Compress content option"

    It is how ever a good option to have enabled though.


    Possibly the drive and  windows is trying to save space and it seems like the SSD is running down its course and getting to its end game.

    Screen got a reaction from TetraSky in Icons have blue arrows and SSD fills up by itself   
    SSD's are not components which relies on age, you might have Run through its write cycles quite fast some how by using the SSD as a main drive to install and uninstall softwares and random read write operations.
    Just because its 1.5 Years old or 6 months old does not mean you can't slow it down or kill it within that time.
    Any how the blue arrows means compression is on.

    Screen reacted to GoodBytes in is windows 8.1 faster than windows 10?   
    eMMC storage, not SSD.
    Windows 10 will not run better than Windows 8 on it. But should run similarly.
     
    Just remember that Windows 10 does a lot of stuff one you get to the dektop for the first time. Too much for an Atom based system and eMMC.
    I would recommend to not use the system and just wait 10min, just make sure the system doesn't go to sleep. You'll know things are ready when disk activity goes down, CPU is down, and you have no arrows showing on the live tiles in the start menu.
     
    Once you reach that stage, now you start checking for updates, and after updates from the built-in apps via the Store. Check Device Manager to make sure everything is detect, else install missing drivers (Win8 drivers should work). Once done, you can head over the Settings panel (Start > Settings (gear icon)) and start enabling/disabling things.
     
    Once everything is done, do Start > type: Maintenance > select: Security & Maintenance, expend Maintenance section, and click on the blue link to start it. Let the computer do its things, I recommend to disable sleep. It will take a long time. Once done, you are ready to enjoy your system.
