Most newer computers with Intel integrated graphics are probably using one of those drivers because Microsoft pushed them out to users via Windows Update last month. There is a newer driver, but it's unclear if it has the same issue.

Just did a clean install of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 on my laptop.
Wouldn't let me use a Microsoft ID, wanted an Office365 Azure etc account.
So I went with a local account. Had to skip entering a password to avoid having to setup the security questions.
Half way though setup it must have decided to update my video drivers, as my screen kept going blank. Hitting keys or mouse clicks wouldn't bring it back. It would appear and disappear
Very minimal apps etc installed, which is why I chose it. Whether it will be usable for what I do with my PC is another question. Time will tell.

This is seriously uncool... what's with the Azure account? And why update drivers when this is supposed to be SysAdmin controlled?Just did a clean install of Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 on my laptop.

Education does the same thing, it won't let you setup with a Microsoft Account. The screen prompt asks you to log in with your school or business account. I type in my Microsoft account e-mail anyway and it just rejects it. I then select Domain login and setup with a local account. You can go in after setup is all finished and switch from local to a Microsoft Account in settings. Which begs the question, why not let me use a Microsoft account from the get go? Why make me jump through hoops to do it?

Another thing that bugs me is you can't verify your ID via e-mail anymore. Its text message or automated phone call to get the code.

It is of course only natural that Education, Enterprise and LTSC cannot be setup using a Microsoft account, an account only intended for private use. These editions are intended for centrally managed use in business / organization / school environment.
However, there's nothing that prevents a user to switch to an MSA directly after first boot to desktop.
Any O365 / MS365 tenant account with a Business, Enterprise, Education or Government license / subscription is an Azure Active Directory account (Azure AD, AAD). Microsoft also uses term School or Workplace account, which is the same thing.

I've been following this thread for (Going to be 8 weeks here soon), and earlier this week I upgraded my laptop from 1803 to 1809. All went well so I proceeded to upgrade the Tablet yesterday and the Desktop today. I don't remember reading any posts in this thread about additional recovery partitions but I took a look at Disk management and found an additional "Healthy recovery partition" on the desktop (MBR) system ? The old one is still in place at 471mb, and the new one was carved out of my "C:" partition at the end for 831mb ?
Then I looked at the Laptop system (Its an EFI system), and it had changes although strange in my mind. The original partition layout was at the beginning, a 400mb recovery partition followed by a 260mb EFI partition followed by the "C" drive partition and followed by a 938mb OEM partition. The new layout starts with a 400mb empty partition followed by the 260mb EFI partition followed by "C" drive partition followed by a 1.71gb OEM partition ? It looks like it was expanded again taking some space from the back end of the "C" drive partition.
Here are After followed by the Before pictures of the laptop EFI partition layouts.

The only thing I see wrong is the unallocated space on the drives that can be added back to whatever partition you'd like.
