Microsoft revealed it blocked the Windows 10 April 2018 Update from installing on systems with certain Intel SSDs after the discovery of an issue that results in system crashes.

The problem occurs when Windows 10 April 2018 Update is installed on computers with the Intel SSD 600p series or Intel SSD Pro 6000p series. The software giant is working on a fix, in the meantime it's recommended to rollback to an earlier version of Windows.

When attempting to upgrade to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, select devices with Intel SSD 600p Series or Intel SSD Pro 6000p Series may crash and enter a UEFI screen after reboot.

Microsoft is working with OEM partners and Intel to identify and block devices with Intel SSD 600p Series or Intel SSD Pro 6000p Series from installing the April 2018 Update due to a know incompatibility that may cause performance and stability issues. If you have encountered this issue, follow the steps to reinstall the previous operating system (Windows 10, version 1709).
