    I like to use the software that is advised and never had troubles with my machines. Most of them are for own security and I use from my first computer still a Intel processor. Where 1903 wasn't stable before for AMD, I had no problems.

    Since Microsoft has messed up my PC with its damn Windows 10 updates (taken 2 new installs and two weeks of headaches)I used to be one of the first at the gate to update my PC to the latest version, now though, I hold off as long as possible while searching the internet for any bugs to the latest release.
    That is only with Microsoft though, other software running on my PC and I'm there at the gate...I guess until other software causes problems

    So am I the only one on Windows 10 Insider Rapid?

    For me, ASAP without delay. 90% of the time updates will include secuirty fixes, which I consider to be vital.
    I've not had a downtime issue following updates, not since the days of Windows XP, so I see no reason not to do it.

    I do manual updates after checking my backup status.

    "I installed a USB and Sound card driver"
    In windows 10 you normal want loose your USB driver.
    If just throw it away inside your device manager and reboot.
    This happens when you often change a USB stick.
    I worked a while with the insider program from Microsoft and see how they work and killing the bugs inside programs. When they found that the 1903 version was corrupt to AMD equipment they stopped the rollout. I loved to see what the future was, but because I had some stuff I may not loose I stopped for a while. With the message was that when it turned out wrong I had to install my machine again I quit.
    Because I work only with Intel and Nvidia graphics I never had troubles before.
    Running 1903 now with version 18362.388
