Solved Issues installing 1803 on Surface Book (1)

[TK-DKC]

Hello,
For a few days, Windows has tried and failed to install update 1803. I found a thread with suggestions:
Failure to install Windows 10 April Update(version 1803)
Are these instructions safe to follow on the Surface Book?
Also, I heard some concerns about performance from before installing the update. Did it affect performance after all?
Thanks!

Following the first step and rebooting solved it:

Right click on Windows Start > Windows Powershell (Admin)
Type following (or copy and paste following) one by one and Enter
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Have you noticed any issues so far with the update?

Nope, none so far!

I just had the same issue with 1809, and using the steps above worked for that too.
