I still have ver. 1809. Do I want 1903?

Apparently I "should" be up to 1903 by now. Though I had some limited
updates twice in the last two weeks.

You'll GET 1903 when Windows WANTS you to get it.

It is a staged rollout.

Windows has WANTS! Shades of The Forbin Project.
Seems the singularity is closer than I thought.
Waiting for Windows to be renamed Colossus. ;-)

You can download the DVD and do it, and just right-click
to mount the ISO and kick it off. You don't have to
sit there waiting and waiting for it to show up.

The MediaCreationTool1903 version is small enough
to fit on a single layer DVD and has seven different
SKUs of Windows 10 on it (Home and Pro plus five others).

Another "direct download" alternative method, fetches a
DVD with 11 OS versions, and it requires a dual layer DVD
if you want it on optical media. The last two versions of
Windows 10 have done this (1809 and 1903). Half-way through
the 1809 cycle, they started shipping a more bloated DVD.
Previous versions before those, came closer to always
fitting on single layer media.

You don't really need it, unless you wanna fulfill your curiosity.

I did upgrade to 1903, clean install using ISO. It's working fine for me.


But you're a "nuke and pave" person, who "nukes and paves"
just because the weather outside looks rainy :-)

Just for the record, tell us how many times you've
reinstalled Windows "for fun".

Don't have a count, Your Curiosity. If you were talking about Win 10,
every time a new build was out, I did a clean install. I just don't
quite trust the upgrade process.

I also frequently reinstalled Win98 at work decades ago.

I did a "Check for updates" and while I found my machine was uptodate
I encountered a notice telling me I could install 1903 if I so
desired. I did and and I did.

I read all the responses to date, none of which mention any VALUE in 1903
over 1809...

If there's no gain, why update?

Good point.

I don't use Bluetooth with the home computer.

Thanks all.

I downloaded and installed 1903. It took me 4.5 hours

Just now did the 1903 upgrade on my LT. Took 1 hour 20 minutes. And I
was using the LT during the upgrade until the very end. Very easy.

As it turns out, I've had a bad connection since Sunday. So the
download starts when I start it, then fails.

I'm glad I'm not in a hurry.

I should have added that the only problem I have now is that with many
Firefox screens, when I press Page Down, it goes down a page once or
twice, but the next time it goes up to the top again. If I hold the
key down, I can see it bouncing from one page down back to the top
and back again, over and over. This might have also happened once
with some other program. Could this be a windows problem? That the
new version will fix?

You neglect to mention WHOSE document (web page) you loaded into

Becasue I don't have a good example.

Firefox. Javascript can be used to reposition the document when
thresholds are reached, like when a particular line comes into view
within the document window of the web browser.

What you describe sounds like someone coded the web page using
Javascript to automatically bounce to an anchor define in the web page,
like one defined at the top of the page.

You also neglected to mention if you already tried the standard
troubleshooting steps: disable all extensions in Firefox, start Firefox
in its safe mode, try a new profile in Firefox, reboot Windows with
startup programs disabled.

I did most of that.

I sincerely doubt any changes to the OS is going to repair whatever is
wrong with a particular app, like Firefox, or how you configured it, or
how the document was coded.

This really should've been its own separate discussion instead of
tucking it under your inquiry about the 1903 update.

No, because it's only if it stood a chance of fixing the scrolling
problem that I was in a hurry to update windows. You said you didn't
think it would help and no one said it might, so I'm in no hurry to
update.
