Perfectly fine on every machine I've installed it on.
Windows 10

I done a fresh install and and upgrade, both without any issues. Just make sure you have backed up any important files in case it fails.
Sigh just made sure all my Windows 10 devices are on latest available updates and 2 of them are having sleep related issues now - one always goes straight into sleep mode, turning off the monitor, the moment the login screen appears - so you have to press a mouse button to wake it up - after that it seems fine but the other does the same thing but randomly goes into sleep mode every 5-15 minutes even if you are in the middle of doing something.
EDIT: Both systems are doing the same thing just happens less often with the other one
looks like it isn't a particularly unknown issue and requires restoring the default power plans and re-doing settings due to something becoming corrupt.
On another note ouch I've just seen for the first time the security advisory for KB4507469! MS are really dropping the ball.

Oh dear, just ordered my new rig, with Win 10 on as well.
Good job im keeping this rig with 7 on, as my back-up, looks like i'll be needing it
Btw, ShutUp10, is there many using it ?
Also, is a MS Account really needed, if your not bothered about the store, for getting games or apps ?, as i just use Steam for my games.

Aye but I haven't been blocking updates. Did originally a few months ago when all the issues hit.
I'm using a local account. Always have.

Thanks, didn't know you could use it to block the updates.
Do you just run it, and leave as is, just on all the recommended settings ?
I don't fancy changing stuff, and ******* it up
It can only block some updates behaviour - about a year back so I can't remember the build now they started including hard coded checks that eventually force the update service back on and as a last resort force the upgrade advisor if you haven't updated after a set period - I believe the only way of blocking updates that prevents that is the script Dirk has posted.
Ultimately most people should really have done updates at some point before it gets to that point but if you have a reason for controlling updates to a greater degree than "normal" then it isn't a bulletproof option.
Personally I'd just use a MS Account as it makes things easier in the long run especially if you are moving between systems, etc.

Microsoft releases KB4505903 for Windows 10 version 1903 - ghacks.net
Microsoft released the second cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1903, KB4505903, on Friday evening to the public.
The company tested the update previously in Insider versions to give it another round of testing before releasing it to the public. KB4505903 was released on Thursday initially but Microsoft pulled it on that day to re-release it on Friday. No word on why it was released and then pulled on Thursday.
KB4505903 is a massive update for Windows 10 version 1903 that fixes lots of issues. Note that it is still considered a pre-release update as it is only available when administrators run manual update checks or download it from other sources.
Here is the list of fixes in that update:

Just noticed that KB4505903 actually fixes something applicable to me: Updates an issue that may prevent you from changing the display brightness after your device resumes from Sleep or Hibernation.
I put this down to Nvidia drivers, but it seems Windows was the issue.

Problem with updates today (kb4505903 OR kb508433 OR kb4509096 OR kb506991 OR kb4497932 !
Don't know which one as win update did them all. It seems to have broken "OneDrive". comes up with "Bad Image" on a file called gdiplus.dll.
Others seem to report problems. Come up with an error message at sign on. Cannot see a resolution. Gdiplus.dll is a system file and I cannot change it back to a previous version!
Essence is that OneDrive does not load at start up because of this error. Cannot be uninstalled either.
Got round it by renaming the OneDrive folder in "AppData"!! Bummer.

I read your post as I was installing the update, lucky for me it's all working fine including OneDrive
.Let's hope that bi-yearly "feature" updates really will be a thing of the past. Even yearly is perhaps a little too often, but more bearable at least. I just hope that they bother to use this extra time to actually test.
I miss the times of Service Packs.
Seems that isn't fixed at all for me, but it does seem to happen less often.
I have my brightness adjusted in Nvidia's Control Panel. When the monitor falls asleep and I use the computer again, sometimes the brightness will go to default rather than my setting.
