Yes, I've installed it. And, my computer is having problems, but it's got nothing to do with the update. It's not a massive update. It was like a usual update, so it took about 3-5 minutes to install.
Not entirely sure if related, but since I did this update I can't render in Iray. I get get the "Error in Renderer, Renderer in use". I rolled back the update, except for the Security ite, but that doesn't seem to matter.
I can render in the Nvidia Viewport, but not in a separate window. i have not been able to correct this issue. I had no probelms in 4.14.0.08 Public Beta or 4.14.0.08 General Release prior to 11/20/2020.
No issue with my computer

I've got four machines updated to Win10 v20H2. Two "Pro" and two "Home". No problems installing or operationally. Runs my MSI Nvidea 1660 GPU in IRAY mode OK for DAZ Studio.
All four of those machines work OK EXCEPT one one machine that I've noticed the sound volume seems set a bit softer but not a show stopper. New audio driver may fix it.
HOWEVER, I have my old laptop that can't get updated to Win10 v2020 much less v20H2 because of an incompatible Conexant driver for which there is apparently no update yet.
I have upgraded as well and I was hoping it would fix the slow down my PC has had since the build 2004 upgrade but it hasn't, or at least not near as much as I'd like it too resolve those slowdowns. It's hasn't caused other problems though from what I've encountered so far.
Installed it a couple of weeks ago without incident.
No issues for me
No issues with Daz, but for whatever reason I can't get my screensaver to work despite fiddling around with the power settings. No matter what I do, I just can't get it to turn on while idle. I've read numerous "fixes" and none have worked, even the one where apparently GeForce Experience was the culprit (the overlay). I just ended up having to reinstall the OS recently and I'm not about to do it again just for the screensaver, lol. I expect within the next couple updates or so it will just fix itself, haha.
Have you checked your graphics driver version? Windows Update has a bad habit of replacing an installed and up-to-date NVidia driver with a lower-spec generic driver that doesn't play nice with Iray. What's worse is it doesn't happen every time — it seems to be at random.
