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 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.
Updated my lappy...and Edge no longer works.
Par of the course for 10 ....
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... no loss in daily driver functionality than?
So far so good on my personal PC & roughly a dozen work PCs on my end.
For me when it tried to upload it the upload failed ( 4 times )
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).
i don't have major problems. just some quirky minor stuff. wonder if patch tuesday will fix any of those.
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.
Nope...my REAL MACHINE is still running 7 just fine...
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.
gpedit.msc is your friend.
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.
Ahahahaha.
Bastard.
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.
Don't know if we're talking about the same "black screen", but if not this may be useful to someone else. For the last 9 months or so it has not been unusual for me to end up at a black screen after an update. It occurs after logging on at the login screen. The mouse and keyboard are responsive and the mouse is visible but otherwise the screen is black. It didn't happen to me after the update we're talking about in the OP, but it did happen again after today's follow-up update.
My routine, which has worked consistently (so far), is to give the machine an extra 15 seconds or so after the black screen pops up, then press [Alt][Cntrl][Del]. From the system menu that pops up, I can click on "Logoff" and it logs off. After logging back in, the machine is fine. After the 1 time things are fine after reboot or logoff, it has been a fairly consistent 1-time error after update.
Check the Windows Event Log, Dave.
In my experience this is usually caused by a Windows service failing to start (or taking too long). Windows Services are started sequentially, so if one hangs the next one cannot be started until the hung service times out (which can take up to 30 seconds). This can delay the appearance of the Windows Desktop and the result is a black screen where only the mouse pointer is visible.
Using the Event Viewer (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools) right after Windows startup you can identify the service causing the problems by looking at the time interval between events (normally there's a ton of entries all happening in very quick succession after logon, but if you find an interval between two events of several seconds, Bob's your uncle).
You can then either disable or delay the startup of the service causing problems (so the others can start first without interference). Here (Win7) the only problems I ever had of this kind were with the Razer services.
Thanks Jorge. I'll have a look at it later, have to go play in the dirt for awhile right now
I've chosen to defer all Windows updates in Win 10 since the early days, given how many of them came with issues and borked peoples machines. I will only get updates when they have been released for a while and the bugs have been ironed out, though sometimes I don't bother and simply hide those I don't want.
