In the warm state of Arizona, it arrived 35 min ago, it downloaded in 3 min and started to install 30 min ago. Looked like it quit installing and then started again. Now its been sitting at 100% for the last 20 min ???????
Well it quit after 35min @ 100% installed with: There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x800705b4).
I will wait.
So I re-booted and then told Windows update to retry, dots were going across the screen and then it said time for a restart. Needless to say, its now at 16299.192.

Some preliminary benchmarks were run by Hardware Unboxed; here is the video. Sadly, no written review.
Tests: AS SSD, ATTO Disk Benchmark, Cinebench R15, Blender, Corona 1.3, Excel 2016, 7-zip File Manager, Veracrypt, and then a handful of games: Ashes of Singularity, Assassin's Creed: Origins, and Battlefield 1.
Caveat: Very early benchmarks, as Intel/motherboard manufacturers/applications all still have to release further updates. This is just the difference from this singular KB patch for Windows 10, benchmarked on an i7-8700K (which does have PCID optimizations).
Results: Essentially no changes except in I/O-heavy benchmarks. Notably, they recorded a 23% drop in 4K random read (44MB/s before this KB; 34MB/s after this KB), but everything else was within the margin of error or surprisingly even faster (i.e., 4K 64-thread Write was 16% faster). These were over four runs and the highest result was taken.
But, I doubt even on a Samung 950 Pro whether it would be noticeable. After seeing the Javascript proof-of-concept to read the kernel memory (hard to believe I just wrote that), I am certainly not taking chances.

Updating on my system:
The update hasn't come up on WU. Bitdefender says they still need to take time to update for this KB; I'm running Avira, which said they will be setting the Regkey appropriately in their next "fast lane" update:
Avira Support on Twitter:
Apparently, I don't even have that folder, which might be why WU hasn't sent the update
I have 4 systems here in the office all updated to 16299.192. 2 laptops were updated manually, 1 Lenovo server running Win 10 Pro automatically updated last night and the identical Lenovo server had to have a manual installation. All seem fine.

If you run a third party antivirus you may not get the update until the antivirus is updated.
