IIS problems after installing July'18 Updates

We are experiencing the following problems after installing the July'18 updates in our servers running Windows 2012 and Windows 2016:

1) We can no longer restart the www service. The service locks in "stopping" mode forever.

2) We can no longer instantiate .NET .DLLs (interop) in classic ASP using server.createobject. We receive the error 0x800A01AD "ActiveX component can't create object". I've read some workarounds at other forums to change IIS Anonymous Authentication to "Application pool identity" but it didn't resolve the problem.

We could only fix both problems after uninstalling ALL the July'18 KB's: KB4284815, KB4338815, KB4338424, KB4338419, KB4054566.

Other questions I found here did not solve or even mention the www restart problem, that also started after the July updates.

Yesterday Microsoft finally published a resolution for the "ActiveX component can't create object" error: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4345913/access-denied-errors-after-installing-july-2018-security-rollup-update. I tested it in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 2016 and it worked OK.

Microsoft is aware of the .NET DLL access denied errors and is still working on a solution: https://support.microsoft.com/am-et/help/4345913/access-denied-errors-after-installing-july-2018-security-rollup-update
