No, I'd say that's not at all too obvious.

In my experience, Windows systems are less stable when an update is awaiting
a restart to finish its install. I'd suggest doing a manual check for
updates and then a restart. Make sure it completely got over them. Apologies
if you've already done all that.

And, which version of Windows 10 is this? (Win-key + R, winver, Enter)

If it's not 1803, and your situation doesn't have a reason to avoid the
upgrade, I'd say get the upgrade. If something's gone sideways with Windows
internals, there's a chance the upgrade might set things right. 
(In fairness, there's ALSO a remote chance it could break other things...
Microsoft and their too-often Win10 upgrades... mumble mumble, rant
suppressed.)

I'd also wonder about hardware diagnostics. But since it sounds like this
problem suddenly came up on 2 different machines at once, a hardware problem
seems a lot less likely.

Yup 1803 fully up to date ; hardware diagnostics all pass. Still baffled.
