Devices with Intel SSD 600p Series or Intel SSD Pro 6000p Series may crash and enter a UEFI screen after reboot when upgrading to Windows 10 April 2018 Update

When attempting to upgrade to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, select devices with Intel SSD 600p Series or Intel SSD Pro 6000p Series may crash and enter a UEFI screen after reboot.

Microsoft is working with OEM partners and Intel to identify and block devices with Intel SSD 600p Series or Intel SSD Pro 6000p Series from installing the April 2018 Update due to a know incompatibility that may cause performance and stability issues.  If you have encountered this issue, follow the steps to reinstall the previous operating system (Windows 10, version 1709).

Microsoft is currently working on a resolution that will allow the April 2018 Update on these devices in the near future.

Update (6/22/18):

Microsoft has included a solution for this issue in the May 23, 2018 Cumulative Update (KB4100403).  This solution prevents the issue from occurring when installing the April 2018 Update.  Please note that this solution does not restore systems that have already experienced the issue and are currently booting to a UEFI screen.  Any devices already impacted should still follow steps to reinstall the previous operating system (Windows 10, version 1709).  Any devices with Intel SSD 600p Series or Intel SSD Pro 6000p Series that have installed the June 12, 2018 Cumulative Update (KB4284835) will no longer be blocked from installing the April 2018 Update.

    Major problem is all previous restore points are wiped clean by 1803. What a #@!@# mess.

    This issue has now been resolved in KB4100403.

    To get the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803), we encourage you to wait until the update is offered to your device. If you’re an advanced user on an actively serviced version of Windows 10 and would like to install the Windows 10 April 2018 update now, you can manually check for updates.  In the Search tab, type “Settings”. On the Settings page, navigate to Update & security > Windows Update > click “**Check for updates”,**which **** will include this resolution.

    I wouldn't recommend attempting the update at all at this stage, even with this "fix".   It seems KB4100403 is a fix ONCE 1803 is installed, which, if you have an Intel SSD (I have a brand new Surface Pro) means you will end up with issues before you can get a chance to get KB4100403.  Surely you would have pushed that KB4100403 into the 1803 in some fashion and/or a preliminary patch to avoid errors getting 1803 installed?

    The upgrade made in April sacked my laptop. It was stuck in the loop of select keyboard layout and then select system. In order to get out of this I had to go to a local repair shop and it has been a stressful situation. Now that my laptop is back to running, all of the former programs that came pre-installed like Windows Office are gone. I have a lot of files that are word and excel based that are not able to be opened. I have no idea how to get Office back on my pc because the programs came preloaded and I don't have a product key. 

    This has been one of the worst update / upgrade experiences I have ever had.
