OK, so I had a few problems with this update. I did not use the Media Creation Tool to force the update, but waited for it to download and updated when prompted.
I noticed two things: there was no Windows Welcome tone when booting up, and my num lock key on the keypad was off.
MS released a patch on Wed evening (8/5) and I had a hard time shutting down. I did see a notification that an update was being downloaded, but no notice to leave the system up (so much for the automatic updates. . .). The same was true for shut down on 8/6, and I used the physical power button to shut down.
Earlier in the week (7/31, 8/1), HP laptop users (yes I have one) were reporting that they were having problems shutting down, or waking up from sleep mode. MS Community was recommending disabling the fast start up option in Power options. This worked for some but not others.
This morning I disabled Fast Start up, and rebooted. On shut down, the 8/5 patch was fully downloaded and applied (with a warning to leave the system on), and then on boot up it was configured (with a warning to leave the system on). The Windows "Welcome tone" is now back and my num lock key is automatically turned on. Don't know what else is in this patch, but it has at least solved two problems.
Disabling Fast Start up does result in a clean shut down, but start up is a long process as everything needs to load before the user has control of the computer. I think I'll leave it this way until the major upgrade in October.
