Microsoft have released two sets of cumulative updates for the Windows 10 Creators Update build 15063. For slow and release preview rings there is KB4016251 which takes the build to 15063.13, it includes a fix for printer connections when upgrading from older versions of Windows and fixes a problem with the Windows audio device graph which would max out CPU due to “defective Realtek APOs”. I had this exact problem on my Surface Pro 3 so it’s good to see it fixes.

For devices on the fast ring there is KB4016252 which takes the build 15063.14 and includes the fixes from above along with a fix for issues where non-suspendable processes would suspend after waking a device.
