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.
