So far no issue on 5 OEM machines and one unsupported from 2014, still have one to update.

I believe this is what MS were calling originally, "Moment 5". Installed a couple of days ago on two quite different machines. No known problems yet

Only one issue on my second unsupported Notebook after the update, after playing/reading an ODD the keyboard doesn't work. It's a 2014 Dell Inspiron 15 5537 model, rebooting fixes the issue but still to be determined if it's a hardware or OS issue. Will be checking with a Linux LiveUSB drive outside of Windows.

We've been here before in exchange of views!
I would hazard a guess that those experiencing big problems are users who possibly play games or other extra demands, and have fiddled with the registry or applied various non approved "fixes"

You could be right. I keep my computers close to the defaults so I can see what my clients see.
