It seems that more and more frequently, Microsoft is pushing multiple cumulative updates per month, rather than just the typical Patch Tuesday updates. Last week, we saw new updates for Windows 10 versions 1607, 1703, and 1709. Today, the latest version of the OS is seeing some love.
PCs on the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, or version 1803, will get KB4284848, and that brings the build number to 17134.137. It can be manually downloaded here, and contains the following fixes:
Addresses an issue that causes the Video Settings HDR streaming calibration slider to stop working. This is caused by a conflict with the panel brightness intensity settings configured by certain OEMs.
Addresses streaming compatibility issues with certain live TV streaming content providers.
Addresses an issue where media content previously generated by Media Center doesn't play after installing the Windows 10 April 2018 update.
Addresses an issue in which SmartHeap didn't work with UCRT.

Before installing this update, read KB4340846, “The Remote Desktop Services ActiveX control (mstscax.dll) does not match the version of the client shell”.
Addresses an issue that causes a connection failure when a Remote Desktop connection doesn’t read the bypass list for a proxy that has multiple entries.

Addresses an issue that causes Task Scheduler tasks configured with an S4U logon to fail with the error "ERROR_NO_SUCH_LOGON_SESSION/STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT".
There are no known issues with this update.
As usual, you don't actually have to install the update manually. Just go to Settings -> Update & security -> Windows Update -> Check for updates, and it will install automatically.
