Easiest Windows 10 Upgrade (1909) yet!

I have 2 Windows 10 machines (an I7 desktop, and an I7 laptop). After
the normal 2nd Tuesday Cumulative Updates for 1903, I got a message that
1909 was available for installation. I started it on each system and
they both finished in less that 5 minutes!!! That must be a new record
for Microsoft Feature Updates. New WinVer is 1909 (OS Build 18363.476).

I to was surprised at the speed the updates (1903 and 1909) installed.

The only hang up was on the notification page. After 1909 was installed
there was still an notification to restart the computer. After doing it
once at the end of the update and then again when I found he update
notification, I ignored it and it finally went away.

I was really "impressed" with the new things in 1909. ;-)

Does the wink mean you didn't find anything new?

Yes I saw nothing new that affected the way I used the computer. There
may have been new items under the hood

This feature update is unlike previous Windows 10 feature updates, in
that Microsoft intentionally decided to limit the number of new features
in the release and focus on making changes to the way it services, or
updates, this particular release. Though 1909 will look and feel more
like a traditional service pack or cumulative update to many users than
it will a full feature update, technically it still is a feature update.

Windows 10, version 1909
This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:
- This build includes all the improvements from Windows 10, version
1903.
- No additional issues were documented for this release.

Reflects that this is really just a service pack.

Seems less about core changes and more about fluff improvements. I'll
wait a couple months to see how many of the guinea pigs get sick or die
and the flurry of subsequent updates to fix this one.

I got the cumulative updates, but no 1909, guess my hardware must be on
the not-ready yet list

There's a notation below the "usual four lines of updates"
section of Windows Update. You can click that item, to kick
it off, and it doesn't take that long. I don't usually look
down there, but because 1909 was mentioned, I scrolled down
to see what other crap might be hiding down there :-)

Not on this box, maybe it relies on the 'microsoft tips" app, which I
have removed?
