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.

Services missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10

Multiple customers have reached out to me because a Windows Service that I have made is missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10.

Some customers have also reported that other services are missing, like Cisco VPN client.



I’m able to repro using the following:

• Install Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) from MSDN.
• Run the installer for my service, and verify that it’s in the service-list.
  
  I have also tried to manually create the service using SC / InstallUtil, with the same outcome.

• Restart the machine.
• (Re-)validate that the service exists, and that it works as intended.
• Update the machine with the newest updates, including 1803 (April 2018 Update).
• Restart the machine as part of the update.

Result: The application-files still exist, however, the service is no longer registered.



Running the installer again, or re-creating the service manually using SC/InstallUtil works.



Have Microsoft put new rules in place for services or what’s happening?

The service itself is a very basic service with a valid digital signature.

It is installed in the users local AppData-folder (%localappdata%).
