I've update the mac mini now I cannot do anything anymore, everything freezes after a few minutes.
The main thing I notice is that the network crashes. Everything was working perfectly until the high sierra roll out.
I have to force quit everything to restart. Once I restart, I can only do a few things before it gets off the network and everything crashes.... Any body else?

It's not a highjacking, just a request for clarification.
I will still run the safe mode but I don't see why it would do anything... brb.
Try following the advice given by John Galt instead of biting the hand that feeds you.
Safe Mode is not all about hardware, it includes software too. The most likely cause of your issue.
Try downloading EtreCheck and copy pasteting the results back here:
Another method to isolate problems is to create a new user account, signing on to it to see if the issue continues.
So it did not detect anything. Lost the report while trying to connect to my network to save it.
So it seems it is 100% related to "windows server" since all I do with this mac is a little bit of compile from remote folders, which was working 100% prior to high sierra.
I can reach my network folders on my windows network from the mac, but staying connected will crash mac mini after a few minutes. I try to eject the connection to the remote computer but it just crashes. All of my issues happen after a few minutes the mac mini hits the network.
Sometimes it's not completely crashed so I try to disconnect the shared drive then reconnect but then it goes "can't be opened because the original item can't be found".
After that my only remedy is to hard reboot the mac or I get the balloon. Nothing else does it.
So yeah I believe mac mini + high sierra + share on windows network = the issue.
Thanks for your reply. It's actually not bound to AD. It's a simple share on a local network.
Now I'm doing another test. I turned off wifi and hard wired the mac mini.
I've just launched a compile task over a network drive (as usual) and it seems to be ok now.
I will post back in a few minutes if it fixes the issue...
Mac mini 2017
Doesn't exist:
Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," to identify your Mac Model.
The beta 5 seems to fix all my issues. Will close now.
Please determine if the same problems occur in "Safe Mode": Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support.
Thank you for your reply. Why would safe mode do anything? This is a stock mac mini with no devices connected to it.
I will still run the safe mode but I don't see why it would do anything... brb.
Oh boy... Means I bought it in 2017... Means it's the latest one out as of today. You had to be that guy hi-jacking this thread..
Yup that's what I'm currently doing. You are not feeding me anything, he does.
So as expected, safe mode did nothing and the mac mini is freezing atm.
Did the exact same thing I do every day. This only occurs since 10.13.2.
Not running Remote Desktop. Also this has been working as expected for months until 10.13.2.
This is not a Windows issue.
