MS's Spring Creator's Update is Apparently Very Buggy
And lacking really good features
Saturday, May 5, 2018 by DrJBHL | Discussion: Personal Computing
I don't know this from personal experience, but Martin Brinkmann tends to know what he's talking about, and he did the update...
You should read the article linked and, if possible, defer this update. He describes a method for W10 Home, as well, using the metered charge option.

I wouldn't use Edge anyway, but I'll give it a try. I did notice that MS decided to put a shortcut to Edge on my desktop. 
Edge working fine here. Well, as good as it ever did.

So I guess lucky me

Only thing I've noticed so far is that it reset all my icons (as in IconPackager) to system default even though IconPackager thought my theme was still loaded. That actually makes sense I think. Applying a different IP theme took care of it.
I'm sure there's more lurking around in there that I just haven't noticed (and may never notice).

So... no loss in daily driver functionality than?

Hah! I am still running the original version of Windows 10, every time I try to update it a failure occurs. It says the system reserve partition is too small or something.

My only peev was that it took four hours from start to finish. The update also did what I expected it to do. Reset all my icons to those butt fugly yellow ones. Resetting the icons though took care of that.

And, though it goes without saying, "Welcome back, Doc!!"

1. Lost all settings in my user profiles after updating. 1st time something so bad happened to me with a new release or even insider builds
2. Lost my Logitech mouse and keyboard and other usb devices as windows standard drivers for USB where installed and failed after update.

Before Microsoft going batsh*t insane, installing a new version of Windows always had the potential to go very wrong.
The difference is: then we only had to worry about it every 3-4 years and only when we were ready, now it's every 6 months whether we like it or not.
I compare Windows 10 to that crazy gf that always makes you feel like you are walking on egg-shells: she can blow up on you at any moment without warning. You are not given any time to adapt (it's impossible anyway) and your anxiety levels go through the roof - until you dump the crazy b****.

Lol.
And whatever you do, after you've dumped your crazy ex don't go running straight into Apple's arms - she's nuts too!

While there's a good deal to that, I didn't know you and Satya Nardella were an item.

So I got the update today, after restart I got black screen when booting Windows. Had to enter safe mode to fix it. Managed to get the update installed after disabling a 3rd party program.

I know a few people that had major problems. One friend rolled back, and that didn't work either, he had to do a factory recovery.
I suffered only one major issue. I had to redo my entire network due to some services being turned off by default, services needed for networking.
I'm sure this was connected with MS removing Homegroup.
Oh, and Windows told me that things like Speccy, CCleaner, CPUZ, and GPUZ would no longer be available, but they still work.
