Here are a few things to kickstart customisation.......
How to Disable Timeline in Windows 10 Spring Creators Update

<div class="ipsQuote_contents">
<p>
<span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-size:15px;">Basically, what Timeline does is create snapshots of your activity, like loaded websites, launched apps, and edited documents, and then allow you to restore a session with just a click. This means Windows collects activity history information and saves it for later use, just in case you want to return to a previous snapshot at a certain moment in the future.<span> </span></span>

How to Delete Telemetry Data in Windows 10 Spring Creators Update

Telemetry services in Windows 10 have been one very controversial topic from the very beginning, as many people considered them to be part of what they called a campaign put together by Microsoft to spy on its users.

That does seem like an improvement over Disk Cleanup.
How many family members/friends do you have who have never even heard of Disk Cleanup, and wouldn't know where to find it or how to use it if they had?
knowing MS, I suspect Free Up Space Now will be a dumbed down version, which is good for the mere mortal users, but hopefully it'll be configurable, as you say, just like sageset allows you to be.
On further reading elsewhere; it should be available to manually download on April 30 but won't start rolling out in Windows Update until May 8 (patch Tuesday).
Well it's April 30th, and the April 2018 Update is here.
Despite what Microsoft announced previously about the update only being available to manually download/install until May 8th my laptop started downolading it through Windows Update as soon as I switched on this evening.

<strong>The April 2018 Update is available today if you go to Windows Update and manually check for updates.</strong> We will begin the global rollout out via Windows Update on May 8.

While we encourage you to wait until the update is offered to your device, if you’re an advanced user on an actively serviced version of Windows 10 and would like to install the Windows 10 April 2018 update now, you can do so by manually checking for updates

Mine just started downloading by itself, I hadn't done a manual check.
Maybe they changed their minds again, or maybe I'm "an advanced user on an actively serviced version of Windows 10" and something on my laptop had a flag set?
{yourusername} will need changing to suit your computer.
If you use a Microsoft Account to log into your computer then the "Guest" will probably not be correct either, you should be able to find the right folder easily enough.
BUT if you are logged in to a MS account the file is also saved at MS and will resync from the cloud if you just delete it from your computer.
To avoid this you have to disconnect from the web, delete the file, and play one game. This creates a new 'statistics.sgi' file, so when you connect back to the web it will not download the old one.

So the black screen issue may have been patched.
I've got the update to .48 downloaded now and just need a restart.
I had kind of similar issue where playing a game (which I play a lot and never had problems before 1803 feature update) after some random time, the screen would just lock up in the game, and it couldn't recover. Could access the other screen with the mouse, do alt-tabs etc and other already open programs seemed to respond & work fine, but wouldn't close & nothing new could be opened either. Couldn't open task-manager to kill the locked game, and while I could access the start menu and select things, where upon the start menu would close and the drive would start to "try" to load something, nothing actually worked, so couldn't logout, reboot, sleep etc, and also couldn't sleep via power button on pc, only solution was to do a hard-reset . I'd read others had similar issues, (in chrome mainly) and a suggested workaround was to hit Win+Ctrl+Shift+b which resets the graphics driver, only on my system it wouldn't work once the problem occurred, the hotkey itself would work prior to the problem showing up, but after the problem had occurred, the hotkey would also make inputs non responsive after doing it, essentially creating a total system freeze. Anyway it didn't happen last night after installing .48 so fingers crossed.
Some other much smaller issues I had on installing the original update was the secondary monitor lost its color profile settings, which had to be re-enabled, naturally it also decided I wanted the Photo Viewer as my default image program again, and a another one which may become a nuisance and is still there is the Feedback Frequency setting in privacy -> Diagnostics & Feedback, won't let me change it from Automatically ask for feedback and tells me the Windows Insider Programme manages this option, despite the fact I've never signed up for the Insider Programme. (I've read this last one is kind of common).
