The update killed my LAN and I had to contact MS Support Tier 2 to fix it.

Last update deleted my audio drivers and installed defaults that tie the
front and rear jacks together, makes a lot of digital programs not work.
Reinstalled my Realtek drivers and all back to life.??
I use the rear output to the radio and the front for computer output like
YouTube, Music etc.

For Flex users:
For the second time in less than a year, a Windows 10 update disabled my
Flex CAT and DAX drivers. After hours of time spent with Flex, I learned I
am supposed to disable auto updates. Also, before doing an update manually,
I was supposed to uninstall the Flex software. Now I am told that the
drivers have been "improved" for now, but are still vulnerable depending on
Microsoft, but it "probably safe" to update without uninstalling, as long as
the Flex software is not running at the time. I was also told that only
2.4.10 and 2.6.2 and version 3 something are "fixed". I was running 2.6.1.
Who knew? Nothing up on their web site.
My new procedure will be to check for windows updates on Monday after the
contest is over and log submitted.
Last year I missed the Oct. Stew Perry on account of this.
