Windows 10 updates.
Here we are, waiting for the Windows 10 1809 update when, last night,
my oldest and least used Windows 10 computer _finally_ received its 1803 update. I guess that is an improvement from its previous update (1709?) which arrived after my main machine received the 1803. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

It's just a comment. 1809 will be released in October around 17th so please wait until you receive it. Demand is very high for Microsoft updates so you'll need to wait for your turn or as Americans say wait in the line to be served. Good luck. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I guess that is an improvement from its previous update (1709?) which arrived after my main machine received the 1803. What is your question? What makes you think I had a question? It's just a comment. Microsoft tends to put on a rushed effort at the end of a release window, so a user won't be two releases behind. If you're one release behind, and you own a tablet for example, they'll ask you to plug in an SD or a USB stick if there isn't sufficient storage. Usually they've put some effort into making the installer work on more platforms (at the end of an upgrade window), and then when 1809 comes in and it fails, you'll only be one release behind again, running 1803. What happened to you is "normal" for someone who relies on Microsoft to fully automate stuff. I just download the DVD for the release and have at it, until it installs. The advantage of controlling your own Upgrade, is you can do a backup first, then use the ISO image to do the Upgrade. You can "mount" the downloaded .iso file from Microsoft, and do the Upgrade install by clicking Setup on the virtual DVD drive, while Windows 10 is running. It's that easy. One advantage of the "DVD method" instead of the "Windows Update" method, is the installer doesn't complain about your video card driver quite as much. If your video card is out of support, the DVD method might actually finish installing. Paul |
