Suggested solution there (copied below, Thanks to Castorp) worked perfect for me. Disappointed in testing at Microsoft!!!

From the beginning: 

1. Download: Driver Version: 1.3.842.3 (second position), from: http://www.driverscape.com/download/bluetooth-stereo.
2. Extract the files, it should end with new folder: 'realtek_bluetooth_3_842_842_01082015_driver". 
3. Open 'device manager' and find name of your bluetooth stereo in 'Sound, Video and Games controller'.
4. Right click and --> Update Driver Software.
5. 'Browse my computer for driver software'.
6. 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.

7. 'Have disk'.

**8. 'Browse' --> Find this 'realtek_bluetooth' folder and take '**Win8X64' to install.

9. Should be fine!
10. Peace.

Anyhow, let me know or post in another thread if there's anything else you need.

Thanks for the update, Dildeep. With these results, we've confirmed that the Bluetooth devices are not compatible with the 1803 update. Let's report this to our engineers using Feedback Hub. Feedback items regularly receive Microsoft responses on the submissions in the Feedback app so you can see what we are doing about your feedback.

In the meantime, I advise that you go back to 1709 if you want to use your Bluetooth speakers. Here's how to go back: click Startbutton > Settings> Update & security> Recoveryand selecting Get startedunder Go back to the previous version of Windows 10. Please note that you can only go back to the previous version within 10 days. In-case that 10 days have already passed, you can follow Andre Da Costa's instructions here on this thread to get 1709 ISO.

Reply back if there are improvements.

Feedback form completed: https://aka.ms/AA1p3aj

There is limited space to explain the whole thing, so I linked to this thread in the form. 

The "new" compatibility drivers are  causing more issues than already stated. They are now causing a 3-4 second audio delay. Rectified by restarting Chrome but doesn't last for too long. Since I fear turning the Bluetooth off and causing a BSOD, possibly damaging the HDD and losing data, I have to restart the PC if the BT start playing up. 

I completely behind all the frustration expressed about this issue. This issue was posted over a month ago, while the issue had been on-going for longer. So I can't revert back to 1709 and it's not practical for me to fresh install Windows right now. 

I hope this issue is resolved soon.
