    Yeah I am BSOD'ing with the spring update and the bios makes no difference to it. I have managed to install the fall creators update with nary a problem on an existing install. But I have a feeling that the current spring update still hasn't fixed the bugs that plagued its earlier delay.

    I think there was a software patch of sorts from Microsoft for the vulnerability .
    , and I feel that might be conflicting with the S.U from M$.

    I've done the update few days ago on my R4. Just to warn you it had deleted my d: partition. The update went ok (A11 unlocked 1x500GB SSD + 1x2TB HDD) but just after the welcome screen and restart it has started to check partition d: for some reason. After the restart it was unaccessable and data wiped out. It was only my back up data so no dramma but still very annoying...
