Running smoothly so far. One of my home PC's updated last night before bed and from what i can remember it took about 20 to 25 mins for it to complete. So far the fastest update iv seen. Crossing my fingers still hoping nothing does appear in the days after.

The most annoying part is the inability to uninstall network protocols, since it opens computer to the wide range of attacks. As for disabling background apps or insider feedback, I took care of that. Waiting for 17134.12 though.

i love the new change in the design of settings and windows defender so far my system runs very smoothly

2 machines, both while long installations, went smoothly here. After cleaning up the systems from the procedure, they are both running extremely well.

so far it's OK but I notice it generates more heat with higher fan speed than the most stable version 1511

I couldn't disable meltdown protection and Nvidia driver hasn't been updated for 1803 yet (latest: 21/4/2018)
it might be the reason for higher heat and higher fan speed

besides that, everything runs smoothly

Updated two machines. One intel NUC which was slow to before have not had time to mess with. Another machine updated just fine, how ever things are slow to open. Logging in took about 45 seconds which before took less than 10 seconds(not very happy about this). And like I said it takes a good 5 seconds or so for things to open then it runs fine.

After the update finished, in the password screen, I choose to enter with Windows Hello, fill the choices and then my screen blacked and nothing happened. Then I made a restart, choose to enter with the other option and till then everything is ok, runs very smoothly.

I found few annoying bugs like Clicking Task view restarts explorer.exe, Set defaults app is a hit or miss.

That happens when you don't follow recommended partition layout laid out by MSFT. Happened to me as well and I clean install using MSFT's dispart cmds.
ON EFI system and GPT partition: You should have ESP partition (max 200MB), OS Partition and Recovery partition.
I used a combination of Dell diskpart and MSFT scripts to my liking.

convert gpt
create partition efi size=200
format quick fs=fat32 label="ESP"
assign letter="S"
create partition msr size=16

create partition primary
shrink minimum=500
format quick fs=ntfs label="OS"
assign letter="W"

create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery tools"
assign letter="R"
set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001

In case you get errors saying disk must be offline, use offline Disk X (Where X refers to the Disk Number which will vary/change according to your system.) For example, I had my OS drive listed as Disk 0 so I used Disk 0.
In case you get stuck or feel confusing use Partition Tools from Minitool or EaseUS to do the partitioning similar to the code or script I posted above.

Everything runs smoothly except I needed to disable hardware acceleration in Chrome as in certain cases the whole system freezes. Same happened with creators update last year until Google released a fix and Intel updated their GPU driver

Windows 10 doesn't follow Microsoft? When I first installed Windows 10, I let the OS handle the install on to the SSD. I'll check out Diskpart cmds in time.

FCU and above adheres strictly to the rules now. Earlier, MSFT updated already present recovery partition, now they create their own if its properly partitioned acc. to their docs.

Intel released new driver for spring update. Use DDU to wipe existing ones and install newer ones. Same applies to nvidia and AMD as well.

Runs well on two PC's, my disc driver on this PC reverted to a no AHCI drive, unhelpful as I have a SSD but was a matter of moments to revert. Boot time has improved. Main worry was it may break my Marantz Network player connection but it's fine. Reflect Image size reduced by a couple of GIG, all in all I love it.

I Didn't update to 1803 yet, I will wait for 1 week... Maybe

@Vasudev
