I’ve seen at least one report of people having problems with the deprecated Windows System Image Backup and the Fall Creators Update (1709)...
I have literally lost count of the number of times I've restored a 1709 system image on my test machine. Mine's an MBR system though, your link was having these problems on UEFI systems.

Even if Windows System Image Backup works after the Fall Creators Update, it seems like the kind of thing that will work until it doesn’t, and then it’s too late to switch. Just my opinion.

I just bit the bullet and went to Microsoft site and tried to install it. It hung up stuck on 24% and stayed there for an hour so I pulled the plug and it has gone back to the previous version. Now what?
Why is the Fall Creators update coming on Sunday instead of Tuesday? I still haven't received the April Creators update. Will Fall update skip the April update? Just curious.
