I don't know off-hand whether AVX-512 benefit loading speeds at this stage, I'm afraid (although it can't hurt).

They're identified the parts of the Windows kernel responsible for the issue and have identified some optimisations that they say should bring performance very nearly back to pre-Fall Creators Update levels. Currently their tentative expectation is that those changes will be released in a Windows 10 update towards the end of April. They're also working on a broader project to investigate performance degradations since the Fall Creators Update in general.

In the meantime their recommendation, in order to avoid the performance issues, is not to upgrade to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (build 1709). (However, I do also appreciate that in many cases it's impossible to avoid doing that, particularly for people that are using the Home Edition of Windows 10, in which installation of Windows 'feature updates' can't be delayed.)
