So, I am registered to receive DEV updates. I have not received anything. I see some people saying it's a full install through the developer account and some say it shows up as an Update?
NM, I see it's a full install and it says Beta, need to read!

1 day after release and it still doesn't show up for me on neither my Mac mini and MBP, WTH.
Sure, but it's strange that every time Apple changes so much as a font size, WiFi breaks and the Adobe suite stops working.
You need to re-enroll in the beta program which means running the profile file and then the App store will open up to a full install of the beta.
Is that the case, find that to be a bit inconvenient, thanks for the tip though, I haven't read the whole thread yet, too little time today.
No problem, I didn't read the whole thread the first time around and sat and waiting for the App store update to show up. Apparently this one is a full install.
The public beta was released with the dev beta this time, no idea why. But it was. It's a full download and it has to go through the beta update utility, which you have to download again from https://beta.apple.com because it needs resigning.
Well that was a pain in the behind but finally got the 10.13.1 most recent beta installed. I will give Apple credit, out of the 14 feedback reports I filed, all but one has been resolved. Keep in mind I am not a heavy duty user, just a home user that surfs the web, uses MS Office including Outlook and a little playing around in photos. My remaining issue is that the desktop icons don't load when starting the computer from a complete shutdown. Selecting go on the menu bar and clicking on desktop does restore the missing icons until the next shutdown. Yes I have reported it, again.
To me, this just confirms that from now on, I wont be installing a new Version of MacOS until at least the X.X.1 version on my main use machine. But yes I will keep doing beta testing on my beta testing machine.

And Adobe has had since when to update their software? Incredible.

No issues whatsoever on my 2011 MacBook Pro 17" or on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15". The 2011 has 10.13.1 Beta 3 installed via upgrades (all the betas and the GM before moving on to 10.13.1 betas) from 10.12. The 2017 went directly to 10.13 new out of the box. In both cases flawless performance and stability. You must have a corrupted file somewhere in the OS that got mangled during the upgrade. I would try a fresh install, test and then if all is well, a restore from a Time Machine backup. You are backing up right?
Strange, I am getting an error on the dev page when I try to download the beta installer (in Chrome)--error, the site can't be reached [ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED]. Anyone else?
If I understand your issue correctly then I am not having your issue with your setup. I have a Mac mini (used as a remote server running Plex server, backups, etc) running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 that can access SMB shares on a 2011 MacBook Pro and on a 2017 MacBook 15", both of which are running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 Beta 3. No problem in reverse accessing SMB shares on the Mac mini either.Authentication now fails when I try to access my SMB shares on 10.13.1 from another machine that's running 10.12 Sierra unless I specifically activate Windows File Sharing for the user account... anyone else?
Not backing up the beta machine because, well basically because it's my beta machine, not my main use machine.
I agree on the corrupted file but have no idea what file to look for.

No problems there, sorry.Authentication now fails when I try to access my SMB shares on 10.13.1 from another machine that's running 10.12 Sierra unless I specifically activate Windows File Sharing for the user account... anyone else?
It is okay since the first macOS High Sierra update, released earlier this month. What's more, Adobe today released CC 2018, so you should not be afraid to upgrade to High Sierra. It works fine.

Since Mavericks, every Mac OS update for me has been hellish. I've reported dozens of MAIL program errors, constant changing order of accounts, missing server info. Literally totally MISSING MAIL or old mail switched to another account for no reason at all. Even hidden accounts. I get emails for at least 2 accounts that don't even show up in my list of MAIL accounts!
With High Sierra, Apple didn't fix the problem. They simply fixed ME. I can no longer send bug reports about the MAIL program. I assumed this was a bug within the Feedback Assistant, but I'm starting to think that Apple has decided having more than 12 email accounts is not worth their time.
If this happened at a corporate account with Microsoft Outlook, I sure bet they'd be on it to fix, but not Apple.
This is another reason I'm afraid to switch to IOS 11. I figure these bugs are just being pushed along from one device to another because they are simply not important.
