MS appear to have made another boo boo with their latest Win 10 update (KB4041676) - causing many PC's to blue screen - so I would advise not to install this until it has been fixed !!
Also - ensure that you have a "restore point" to roll back to - since, once this update is installed, apparently - it cannot be easily removed and there is no fix for the situation !!

May be only the enterprise versions that are having the blue screens.

Problems appear to only affect business users.
The update has downloaded on my PC's but I have delayed the install for a few days just in case.0 -
