Windows 10: Microsoft confirms Windows 10 April 2018 Update is now available for all Alienware PCs

Back in May, Microsoft decided to pause the rollout of Windows 10 April 2018 Update for Alienware PCs due to issues that substantially affected performance and caused a black screen.

The update was blocked on the following PCs:

• Alienware 13 R3
• Alienware 15 R3
• Alienware 15 R4
• Alienware 17 R4
• Alienware 17 R5

Last week Alienware Support team told us that the April 2018 Update is now available for their systems and the issues that were previously reported have been fixed. At that time, Microsoft’s own documentation did not mention anything.

Microsoft has quietly updated the forum page to confirm that it has resumed the rollout of Windows 10 April 2018 Update to Dell’s Alienware systems.

“Microsoft was previously blocking these models from installing the update due to a known incompatibility that may cause these devices to display a black screen after resuming from battery saver mode. This incompatibility has been resolved and the block for these models has been removed,” writes Jess Can, Microsoft Agent in a forum post.

According to the updated forum post, Windows Update will notify you when the April 2018 Update is ready for your device. You can also manually check for updates from Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update

Windows 10 April 2018 Update, also known as version 1803, was published on April 30 and is now available for all supported devices. Microsoft has already completed the rollout of the update and it should show up on compatible devices.

Microsoft had suspended the rollout temporarily in order to discover the cause of the bug and prevent more systems from getting it.

Microsoft blocks Windows 10 April Update for Intel SSD 600p Series

Microsoft is blocking some Intel SSDs from installing the April 2018 Update after discovering an incompatibility issue that causes performance and stability issues. In short, the problem was explained by Microsoft as: “When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly.” Microsoft says that this issue has no workaround and that those that have attempted to update Windows 10 to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update should revert back to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709.

Unfortunately, the announcement by Microsoft fails to list what specific Intel SSD models are having issues with the OS update. We contacted Intel and discovered that the Intel SSD 600p Series of client drives that was first introduced to the market in 2016 is the most popular drive that is having issues.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

I updated to main computer to the April 2018 Update, AKA Spring Creators Update, and it seems like they've taken a step backward with MKV file support. When I go into the properties of an MKV file on the Fall Creators Update, if I go to the details tab it gives me a bunch of detail about he media file, like resolution, framerate, audio information and bitrate. However, if I go into the same file's properties on the April 2018 Update, almost all of the information is blank, it only gives me a runtime and bitrate.

I really just want to confirm that this isn't just my computer and other's are experiencing the same thing.
