So far, things are looking much better. I shut down and rebooted without issue. No GSOD!!! Then later, I downloaded a PDF and since I refuse to let Edge read them, I downloaded and installed Acrobat Reader. Had to restart, so I had a few scary moments, but she booted right back up into Build 18334!
With Build 18305, I couldn't get new themes to work. I downloaded, installed and tried to apply, but nothing I did worked. So, I decided to try that again . . . and what to my wondering eyes did appear? Nope, no tiny reindeer, but when I opened Personalization, there were the themes I had tried to get, but that would never show up, in 18305!
And now, my grinch! Throughout my problems with the GSODs that started with Build 18323, my only solution was to roll back to 18305. That would be fine, except when I tried to get back to Skip Ahead, it will no longer work! I'm now back on the Fast Ring! Bummer . . . I'm going to file Feedback on that, but I don't expect to be reinstated. <Whine>
So, if my luck holds, I'll be one happy camper.
It would be maybe nice, if they could FINALLY FIX Nvidia Optimus / MS Hybrid in laptops?? The dGPU is still randomly polled for 100ms all the time over Windows (causing fan spins), in certain context menus or things like fast slider movements on GUIs or opening Task Manager, closing it, opening Edge, opening the Nvidia panel, and lots more...
This fixed the brightness slider, but broke night light again.
Edit: nevermind. A restart fixed it.
