Vivado crashes after Windows update

[bader@gctnet.de]

After installing the windows 10 update from May 23th Vivado 2018.1 don't works anymore. It starts then telling me that, my source files ar not valid, and then disappears. This is repeatable and affects all my projects.

After removing the windows update everything works normal.

Can you tell me where is the reason ?

Microsoft has been going crazy pushing and retracting patches related to the SPECTRE and MELTDOWN bugs announced earlier this year, so I suspect it's related to these.   Have you tried removing VIvado, installing the Microsoft update, and then re-installing Vivado?   If that fails to work, then this is an issue for Xilinx to fix with the 2018.2 release of Vivado.  

Please let us know if Vivado 2018.1 fails to install after doing the May 23 update.   A CR  (Change Request) may need to be filed, or possibly even a tactical patch issued.

Yesterday in the evening (May 24th) Microsoft automatically installs an additional update. With this update it works.
Strange.....
But thanks for your answer
