    So I came home from work and both my laptop and desktop installed the latest April update. Luckily, I did not have the black screen of death issue that is being reported after the initial install. I ran some preliminary tests and overall my CPU usage appears to have gone down in CPU intensive games like Mass Effect and Gears of War 4 which is resulting in better CPU temps overall, but FPS is still where I expect it to be. Overall, if it is stable I will say this might be a worthwhile patch to install but time will tell.

    Please share your experiences here for other users. I will continue testing and report back.

    FPS is based on the GPU itself not the CPU for the most part. To increase FPS would be going SLI /Crossfire or getting a single higher performing GPU to increase FPS. And to use 1803 I always reboot to the last working image that I created and then do a update to insure there is not problems that was there to begin with interferes with W10 operation itself.

    See if game mode is enabled or disabled, just press win key and G keys.
    There are minor performance bugs on v1803 which majority of users observed.
    But OP says he/she never had issues with FPS on older builds even on the same hardware.

    Unless others are there to see the setup we are only going by their words and have no way to verify one way or another.

    You mean Win_setup or Game install setup files?
