yeah .. it broke matlab
BlueRay
The stuttering issues many have experienced in the past were due to memory management bug Windows has since Creators Update. This is supposed to be fixed in April Update.
Also April Update brings way lower latency for audio.
Audio settings and audio default device per app.
A way to stop notifications while playing games (Focus Assist).
More and clearer privacy settings.
An overall smoother and better experience.
Faster updates.
These are enough for me to update and love the update.

I'm going to perform clean install of that build. Before that i will run few benchmarks on currently installed one and repeat them on new build to see if performance improvement in games is real. On 18.4.1 driver, will post results here or in driver thread.

Updated. No problems. Everything works. As always.

if they got some improvement in video interface, file system handling, memory allocation and managment, they would have written with bold letter everywhere.
If they got any improvement is maybe in thread management with background things, but also there, i think they would have said big.
I think the update gives you a quick clean to your installation and registry and everything goes better, and then goes back to the usual after 3 months of daily usage. As always have been.
What i do not understand if those bug they fix (not security related but perf related) get fixed on older version too or not. In that case i would keep the older versions.

I already did a clean install last night, but I'm glad the wait is finally over.

First thing I noticed after updating is that the File Explorer button is jammed. You can’t open it by left-clicking it, you have to right click it then left click it on the drop-down list. Bug no.1

WDDM also got changes/updates for this build among other builds and isn't/wasn't mentioned. The memory compression back in anniversary update only got brought up months after the update shipped, people were confused whether it was part of the anniversary update or the insiders for the next build. There are tons of changes to the kernel to support various API's being added for UWP apps that aren't mentioned. I've also read that NTFS has been getting some updates along with ReFS but neither are ever mentioned in the build notes.
Not true - past releases have featured tons of under the hood changes that aren't listed in the patch notes. For example this build changes a bunch of stuff related to WASAPI and the only mention of any of it is individual app volume sliders. The anniversary update added a frame server for webcam usage which broke a bunch of USB cameras and Peter Bright over at ArsTechnica wrote an entire article about why it's bad that Microsoft is changing stuff without mentioning it in the notes at all:

Force upgraded about an hour ago. No obvious issues, I've gone from 1703 through 1709 to this. I've noticed some cosmetic changes, nothing to shout about though.

My frametime spikes in AC origins are all but gone. Which was my worst performing game im playing right now. So far this is a very good release for me. I do think there is alot of fixes not mentioned by ms.
