Yeah like I said before, bricking was the wrong word to use. More like causing extra work.

Isn't it just like micro$heat...

Microsoft should specify wish Intel SSDs are specifically affected so that people can take proper action before the boot loop problem hits them. That's why i cringe every time there is a new update for W10 as i already had a nightmare when i updated to windows 1709 , my creative X-Fi soundcard did not work and i was also in a boot loop if i had that soundcard installed and the worst part it took Microsoft 5 months to fix the problem 😏. Why do i feel like we are Beta testing this OS W10 ?
Microsoft really ??? " Windows 10 users with an Intel SSD, who already installed the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, are advised to return to an earlier version of their operating system "
The cake is a lie ...

As member of Insider program, I am quite used to be hit by random trash. For someone who actually paid for windows, it is not acceptable. (my other devices w/o insider membership)
But what I really hate about windows 10 is fact that windows itself is now ADWARE. You can check if advertisement is based on your browsing/preferences, or you are hit by random trash.
Like what? Back in the day, people paid premium TV service to get rid of advertisement in middle of movie. Now you pay for OS to spam you?
If MS wants to have advertisement as part of windows, that windows should come for free and they can take small part of revenue those ads bring to product sellers.
I was advocating W10 for long time. From feature point of view, it is best Windows ever, but mindset behind it is just worst and not getting any better.

old intel 320 SSD here, dont have issue related to SSD so far
but with fast-boot enabled it cause massive slow-down, reboot and shutdown took around 5 minutes
the slow-down even still occuring after login,
not sure if there issue with cache or what ...
other than that slideshow/lock-screen broken with 1803 update... that applock.exe
it showing slide-show when it starting up, but if you re-log and lock desktop, slide-show wont start
end-process applock.exe (forcing it to restart) works, but still it shouldnt work like that

This is why i wait with big feature updates since 1709 for atleast 6+ Months.

Intel 540s 240GB for system - no issues but i have to admit that when i saw this update in the newest ISO i reformatted the whole OS just to make sure

Maybe one day,Soon™, MacOS X will come to us,to windows PC users&gamers.(exclude hackintosh)
Together with Vulkan and some direct2D&3D libraries. To forget about this Windows 10 (the new Windows as a service™). 🙂

Seems to me INTEL & MICROSOFT are perfect for each other!
Dimitrios1983
Don't worry folks MICROSOFT will pull an INTEL and steal more AMD workers to fix this.

I've been in the Insider's since Oct 1 2014, and I'm scratching my head wondering what "advertising" you are seeing, because I am surely not seeing *any*. Ah, well, perhaps it depends on your privacy settings--easy enough to understand. You can turn off location as you wish--that is your choice. I also use AdBloc which works splendidly except on sites where I am asked to remove it to visit the site--an ever-growing number--but none of this is specific to Win10. I use Firefox Quantum x64 and I have addresses at google and outlook for mail. Nothing unusual. I am now past the 2018 Spring update on R5, build 17661...I see nothing unusual or new. Firefox has been spamming ads since like forever...;) Just wondering what you are seeing that I am not...?

I rarely get messages in my notification center about apps I don't have but are available in the microsoft store - typically microsoft apps but I vaguely remember seeing others. I guess you can consider that an ad but it doesn't occur too often. The lock screen definitely still has ads. And when you install 10 it comes with a bunch of candycrush type crap, even on Windows 10 Pro.. Overall I wouldn't call it "adware" but there are some things I'd consider "ads". I'm also running insiders.

This probably doesn't need to be made in to a bigger issue than it really is. I've got Intel 330, 510, and 530 SSD's, all working fine here. I'm pretty sure there are some 335's also working fine.
"select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly"
Microsoft's vague wording was less than ideal, and it's leading people to make unfounded assumtions. It's worded in a way that suggests this is an Intel problem, yet also leaves the possibility that it has NOTHING to do with Intel SSD's.
"Microsoft does not list which exact Intel SSDs suffer from the issues" - HH
"the combo of the operating system update and the Intel SSDs can result in a boot loop" - HH
They don't actually say it's an Intel SSD issue. They say "select devices with...Intel SSDs". I'm more interested in what the select devices are, not a list of SSD's just yet. Wouldn't it be funny if ALL the "select devices" were actually Surface tablets with Intel SSDs. Is Microsoft above throwing Intel under the bus to save face with this botched/delayed/botched update? There just isn't enough information about the issue to know much.
Now people are trying to hitch their Samsung SSD's to this bandwagon, which IMO there is not enough available information to do.

At installation time windows asks you about way you want your advertisement. Advertisements are shown in some tiles within tart menu. (easily to be killed)
And in edge. (easily evaded by use of any other browser)
But it still means they want to deliver them and they succeed in large number of cases as users may not even realize they are there.
Secondly part of this delivery is start menu "news feed", which I removed and it is back after some minor update. Showing what someone at MS deems fit.

intel 330 60gb here. No problems, although the update created a new partition somehow, dunno why.
Viper666
The partition should be hidden by default, but somehow it shows up after updating, especially on laptops. It's easy to unassign it's letter though.
waltc3
Yes, I have seen Edge ask about advertising, but I've never seen Win10 query me about ads for Win10 at installation time or otherwise. This possibly may be because I don't use tiles--never have (I'm a start-menu/desktop shortcuts kind of guy)...;) Just thought I'd ask...;) I'll keep an eye peeled from now on.
