I haven't had any problems this time round, other than a power outage while updating one of my tablets, which is obviously not Microsoft's fault. Neowin had a writeup of initial complaints they found on Reddit & the Feedback Hub, while Microsoft today acknowledged a problem that apparently has to do with PCs/laptops that aren't connected to the internet when they're fired up. Those systems won't connect to Microsoft services like OneDrive. Microsoft's workaround, while they work on a fix, is don't do that -- make sure you're connected & then reboot.
