Apple Releases macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 With Fix for Messages Bug

The more I think about it, that's exactly what happened. The nMP first try did not complete. I downloaded the combo updater and told it not to trash the dmg since I wanted it for my mini, the 2nd try on the nMP went fine. The update on the mini with the dmg file from the nMP went well and I told it to hold on to the dmg file in case I needed it. When I did the rMBP i didn't think to hold the dmg file and the first attempt failed. When I tried the second time, I told the installer to not trash the dmg and the install went well.
It has something to do with trashing the dmg during install.
That terminal command worked perfectly for me, but I got an error at "reboot".
I was able to restart the normal way, though and all was fine. The install did tell me it was going to be 40-odd minutes, which seemed a bit long. I had to run out the door so I'm not sure how long it eventually took but it's all running normally so far.

No. You can use the Gatekeeper one for any system from Mountain Lion onwards and the XProtect one from Mavericks onwards. So many systems use them, not just High Sierra.
After installing today’s update, my MacBook Air is doing something I’ve never seen before. Safari loads and operates normally, except that it will not load a single website. So pretty much useless. The App Store program loads, but there is no content. It seems like the computer doesn’t have internet access, but some apps function fine, like Mail will send and receive emails.
This little gem is only for developers.
There is a slightly easier way to check the version numbers of xprotect and gatekeeper on your computer.
Just copy and paste these commands in terminal and they will reveal the version numbers on your computer:
For Gatekeeper:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" /private/var/db/gkopaque.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
For XProtect:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" /System/Library/CoreServices/XProtect.bundle/Contents/Info.plist

What's the consensus for macOS High Sierra and the cMP 5.1 (mid-2012)? I'm running quite behind in my update department, as I'm still on Mac OS X 10.10.5! 
Cheers!

I have already discussed at length on how to check in several posts in this thread. Do you want me to repeat myself? Or could you just go back and see what I have already said?
No issue.....I read/replied before getting to this point or point at which you posted.
After a very long time, a software update has caused problem with my iMac. After the update the computer couldn’t start and gave me prohibited sign every single time, even after using disk utility on recovery screen. now restoring the whole system from a TM backup, and hoping it will all work fine after this. My computer is iMac 5K late 2016.
This is absurd, I tried what you suggested and the PDF document was rendered perfectly in safe mode, but after the re-boot the PDF document was dull and blurry again. I think this beta software: High Sierra works better in safe mode... unbelievable, the most advanced operating system in the planet can't render a simple PDF. Thank you for your advice, do you have any other suggestion that will fix Preview?
I don't like Acrobat Reader, I like preview for the integrated dictionaries.
Honestly, it runs very, very nicely. Especially if you have a Sapphire Radeon RX580 Pulse graphics card in your cMP as it now does HEVC! Actually, from what I hear any Polaris based AMD card will do.What's the consensus for macOS High Sierra and the cMP 5.1 (mid-2012)?

10.13.3 breaks the AMD Radeon Pro 460 in my touch bar MBP. Intel Graphics still works, but any app that wants the graphics processor, or my external Thunderbolt 3 display, puts the Mac into what I'll call LSD mode.
It sometimes shows the right picture, but then has flashbacks on parts of the screen to earlier content, usually correcting itself after a few hundred milliseconds or faster (leading to dramatic flickering back and forth). Totally psychedelic, but not that good for getting work done.

Installed macOS 10.13.3 on both MacBookPro . Intresting the mid 2012 16 GB ram , 512 GB Samsung Pro 850 , APFS was faster then early 2015 8 GB ram and Apple SSD 256 Gb HPFS . About 10 minutes faster . Is the ram or apfs the determinant factor ?

Let my mid 2009 MacBook pro do the update last night, seemed to finish downloading and installing the update faster than any other of the updates and seems even slightly faster and working without any issues so far, did the iOS 11 update as well and so far my iPhone 5s is working just fine as well.
Clean install from 10.12.6 to 10.13.3 on my 2014 MacBook Pro. No problems and I'm loving it so far!

Is there any order to install? I mean after installing iTunes 12.7.3 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Combo Update can I continue installing the new xprotect and gatekeeper? or I have to install first xprotect and gatekeeper?
Thanks

If I download High Sierra from the MAS, will it be 10.13.3 already? Does anyone know if they updated the download?
Had a MBP 2012 and same issues. At least they needed to replace my MBP to fix this issue. It was looking like hw issue.
It was updated yesterday. You can see the version number on the High Sierra page in the App Store.
The "sudo softwareupdate -i -a" command worked great but the "reboot" command didn't work. I had to find it on Google.
