Yup. I'm still on version 1703 on my main computer with the updates completely neutered. I'll take my chances with the hackers and the viruses over Microsoft any day of the week.

I just put 1803 on a little HP Elitebook last night via USB flash drive. I ran all updates and now the USB ports don't work. How do I get SDI to run without a working USB port to put the right drivers on them? Pffft! Guess I'll put a USB 3 port in the ExpressCard slot and hope it loads up the driver from DVD. The ports work during boot but fail once Win10 is up and running. Plugging in an external drive locks the machine up hard.

Kind of a run around but:
Boot from bootable OS
Create small partition for SDI
Boot from 1803, install not touching SDI partition.
Run SDI from partition after 1803 install

or, create a "custom SDI DVD" with just the stuff you need.

Or, something along those lines.........LOL

I may just pull the SSD and copy direct to it and put back in.

...but I get the error message "std::bad_alloc" when I run it that way from the SSD - hmmm.....

If the BIOS has options to switch off EHCI and xHCI handoff, that should allow the USB ports to at least work to some level within Windows. You can now install the correct drivers and revert those options in the BIOS.

Just had a similar issue with Windows 7 and USB3 on a retail motherboard. An OEM motherboard may not expose those settings, but that HP has a lot of stuff in it – just finding the right bit might be a problem.

That article is dated October 3, it was written before the first 1809 release. Is this bug in the next 1809 release candidate?
