metadata and certain playback functionality is broken if you use the internal Windows codecs.... Includes 'simple' things like Windows Explorer listings.......

Good thing we are using JRiver MC then isn't it.

Yeah, I noticed that right off the bat with 1809, and assumed it was a "feature".

1809 is spectacularly broken.
I updated to it the other day on one of my systems because I thought it had been long enough and I had not been hearing constant news about issues with it, it was said to fix some of the issues I was having on 1803 like Bluetooth audio controls, but ended up breaking Hyper-V, none of the UWP apps display icons any more, PNG files do not display thumbnails in Explorer any more, and I have run into several other weird issues like that.
I've been able to fix some of them, but it's probably going to end up like 1803 where I'm using a half-broken OS for another 6+ months until they fix some of those issues and add some more.
I'm not sure whether to roll back to 1803, as 1809 did some of the issues I was having, but it's more that I'm not convinced that it will downgrade 'safely'.
After picking up one of the new iPad Pros recently, I find that I am using it for significantly more than any previous iPad (the Pencil is a big contributing factor there) and it's really making me want to ditch Windows altogether.
