Rollout of Windows 10 April Update Halted For Devices With Intel and Toshiba SSDs (bleepingcomputer.com)

Catalin Cimpanu, writing for BleepingComputer: Microsoft has halted the deployment of the Windows 10 April 2018 Update for computers using certain types of Intel and Toshiba solid state drives (SSDs). The Redmond-based OS maker took this decision following multiple user reports about the Windows 10 April 2018 Update not working properly on devices using: Intel SSD 600p Series, Intel SSD Pro 6000p Series, Toshiba XG4 Series, Toshiba XG5 Series, and Toshiba BG3 Series.

The Intel and Toshiba issues appear to be different. More specifically, Windows PCs using Intel SSDs would often crash and enter a UEFI screen after reboot, while users of Toshiba SSDs reported lower battery life and SSD drives becoming very hot.

Re:Standards would make this a non-starter

It looks like the SSDs that stuck to the standard drivers and interfaces did not run into any problems at all. Basically this only impacted drives that used custom drivers.

Microsoft has brainwashed you into doing their QA for them, and you even take pride in how much of your life they have wasted.

They fired their QA department. It is your job now.

You realize you're posting to a conversation thread about Microsoft's failure to deliver a working driver for OEM hardware, right?
