1903 has been the most stable build of windows 10 i have had so far. I don't think I have had any crashes. The only application crash I had was Chrome Edge the other day for the first time since the started seeding it which is a good sign IMO It's probably the first update I can say I couldnt go back now because I would miss the new stuff. I love light theme. I tried dark theme for a while, couldn't get used to it. Was content with normal theme, but love Light theme. I don'Idle hands and allactivity dropped off some so baked up the primary notebook's drives and updated to 1903. Seamless so far. Seemed like a much larger download versus 1803 & 1809 etc. equally once DL'd took all of 10 minutes to install. Everything as promised by Microsoft and no degradation in performance.
I did look at the details on the 1903 known issues page, however nothing notable for this hardware (ROG GL703GS) All the same ran DISM post update all good 100% no errors
Code:DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Still picking through the differences versus 1809, liking the small productivity improvements to the browser and general UI tweaks. Most of the work on the update is clearly under the hood of which I'm fine will. 1809 has been 100% stable, 1903 holds up the same I'll be more than happy.

I don't know if its related to 1903 or some other issue, but it seems kind of coincidental that 1903 is fairly fresh on my laptop and all of a sudden on boot up, I need to enter my bitlocker recovery key. I chalked the the first time as just one of those things but this morning it happened again.
I had done some googling and I've not really seen too many hits, so it does seem rare. I don't have any sophos products but this link was a bit helpful
And Bitlocker Tip of the day
I've turned off bitlocker for now reset my hello windows and entered a new pin, I'll see if that helps down the road, but for now, I'll go w/o bitlocker for the time being

Thanks everyone, very informative. My Razer is not on 1903 yet, store rep said I should see notification in a few days.
I am in no hurry except that I cannot wait to silence Cortana. I do not need my machine talking back at me.

There's a number of minor changes that really improve the user experience. I'm liking this update quite a bitThanks everyone, very informative. My Razer is not on 1903 yet, store rep said I should see notification in a few days.

Haven't seen or heard of this issue, let me know if it gets fixed!
I sent you a PM not long ago did you get it?

Yeah this has been my favorite over all. It feels like a Snow Leopard update lol
Yeah, sorry I did but failed to respond, but I just did now
Yeah it seems MS is hitting their stride.
As for the bitlocker stuff, I'll hold off on enabling that for a period of time, and then I'll probably get my ducks in a row, such as saving a copy of the key to my phone so it will be easier to retrieve.
Yeah there's some nice touches that just work. Still holding back on my 2in1 I'm just watching the progress of the 1903 known issues list as it utilises mostly Intel & Realtek drivers. Although tempted I'm inclined to let it roll until 1903 is offered automatically once all the drivers are updated.
Q-6
I did a quick perusal of that list and I don't see much that could impact my laptop, and as I said with one exception its been a solid update. That one exception may or may not be related. I've never seen the need to enter the recovery key into a machine before - at least one that hadn't been worked on. When I have some time to play with the laptop and I'm not working, I'll see about re-enabling bitlocker.
So far so good with my primary GL703GS, equally far less reliance on Realtek and Intel. I can always image the Switch 5, problem being if something raises it's head at an inopportune time, it may become an issue with both system on the latest update as I'm currently in the field.
Realistically new drivers will be issued soon enough and as much as 1903 is a nice update it's not an imperative or bringing significant new features.

I wonder if this was the cause:
How to suspend BitLocker encryption to perform system changes on Windows 10
Yeah that was probably it, or it was just one of those oddities that happens once for no reason and will never happen again lol. Luckily you had backed up your bitlocker key though!
I love that I have to type winver in the search line to find that 1903 installed successfully.
System Info happily gives me 10.01862 build 18362, but neery a 1903.
Microsoft is just so intentionally perverse in the way it doles out information.
OS seems to be running just fine. No files missing, all Apps remain, not a single horror story.

How so? You like many others know to type winver to get the version and build. I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at
Got a hold off on the Acer Switch 5 from MS, so respecting that. Likely driver related. ASUS GL703GS so far no issues on 1903, rock solid.

True, but it's hardly locked down either. I meant more in the sense of having multiple options...

I don't know the heuristics on how they proceed, but the entire update process is going to take many months. If you want it, just grab it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
