For upgrade the best way is to use a fresh new install and copy files. It may seem longer but finally we save time.

I usually look for changes in laravel also not just the framework.
Anyway for Windows there's a program called winmerge that handles that for me.
Just have to be careful not to override any custom code you have.
I know there's an upgrade guide but believe me comparing each file and updating differences it's so much more efficient and it took me about 10 minutes to upgrade. Not counting a couple more minutes to composer update.

For me the problem was that I had a custom blade directive in the register() method of /App/Providers/AppServiceProvider and custom Blade directives need to be in the boot() method instead.

Having good tests usually help me. Small unit tests will show which areas are failing, then I use [WinMerge] (http://winmerge.org/?lang=en), like @jlrdw

This happened due to the way in which Laravel resolves the Blade service, see https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/25497
