Windows 10: Microsoft is investigating Windows 10 update issues

Windows 10 KB4556799 is plagued with audio issues and temporary user profile bug, according to user reports. Additionally, it appears that Windows 10’s important security patch is causing performance issues including frame-rate drops and Blue Screen of Death errors.

Some users have reported about this problem on Reddit (1, 2, 3) and Microsoft forums, and others have also complained about Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on online forums.

Many users have reported that Windows 10 KB4556799 is causing audio issues, where the default audio output stops working or stuttering is noticed.

There is also a re-emergence of the nasty Temporary user profile bug, which hides user files and disables any settings such as desktop wallpaper back to the default values.

While users have flagged bugs across multiple forums, it’s unclear how widespread these issues are and it’s possible that users with a particular configuration are only affected.

In a support document, Microsoft has now confirmed that they are aware of the issues reported online and is investigating the complaints. However, Microsoft says it had not seen any issues in the “telemetry, support data, or customer feedback channels” yet.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft will only have access to telemetry data of Windows Updates when users flag the issues in the Feedback Hub under the correct category. If you have audio problems after the update, you should head to the Feedback Hub and flag the bug under the Audio category.

Most users have posted about the bugs on forums and social channels only. As a result, Microsoft does not have enough telemetry or support data in the customer feedback channels to identify the root cause.

“We are actively engaged with customers who are reporting issues,” Microsoft noted. “We continuously investigate all customer feedback and are closely monitoring this situation.”

Since we first reported on Windows 10’s latest messes, more users have described the problems they’ve faced since installing KB4556799.

If you’re facing issues after recent updates, you can uninstall the update by following these steps:

• Open the Settings menu by typing “Settings” in Windows Search).
• Choose “Update and Security”.
• On the left-hand side, click on “Windows Update”.
• Click on “View Update History.”
• Click on “Uninstall update” option.

In the next screen, choose KB4556799 and uninstall the update.

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Microsoft blocks Windows 10 April Update for Intel SSD 600p Series

Microsoft is blocking some Intel SSDs from installing the April 2018 Update after discovering an incompatibility issue that causes performance and stability issues. In short, the problem was explained by Microsoft as: “When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly.” Microsoft says that this issue has no workaround and that those that have attempted to update Windows 10 to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update should revert back to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709.

Unfortunately, the announcement by Microsoft fails to list what specific Intel SSD models are having issues with the OS update. We contacted Intel and discovered that the Intel SSD 600p Series of client drives that was first introduced to the market in 2016 is the most popular drive that is having issues.

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.
