Default 1903 upgrade is being weird

My system is currently on 1809. Today Microsoft finally deigned to allow me
to upgrade to 1903. After the download completed, I rebooted my system and
went off to do other things. When I returned I was greeted with the login
screen, so I assumed everything had gone ok. Imagine my surprise when the
system informed me it was still 1809.

While I was pondering what to do next I checked the update screen again,
and noticed that it stated it was installing the upgrade with some
percentage completed. In all the discussions I have seen on the 1903
upgrade I have never heard of the upgrade being done in the background
while the system went on its marry way.

Can any of you enlighten me as to what is going on here?

The hundreds of W10P under my professional purview typically
automatically download and install new OS builds in the same manner that
they install any other update. Users can keep on keeping on during most
of the download, at least. Users are typically locked out during
critical phases that occur during reboots.
You can use wushowhide.diagcab to hide both ordinary updates /and/
newer builds, so they're pretty much the same thing from an OS
perspective.
The only time a W10P reboots to the same old build for me is when
something goes wrong during the update. Look in your update log to see
if it failed.

Thank you, 73,

Most of the install time is spent in up-front preparation.

Less time is spent in the remaining "phases".

You're supposed to open the Settings wheel, and look
in the Updates to see what it claims is the current
disposition. It could be downloading. It could be
installing.

At some point, it will "request" a reboot.

Then the remaining phases will happen.

On my Insider disk, I watch that Settings wheel
like a hawk, to see what shenanigans it can get
up to before the reboot even happens. It can claim
to be doing some of the steps more than once.

*******

There is a diagram near the bottom of the page with
the phases. There is another article (somewhere), where
the diagram is a bit more substantial (and likely done
by the same illustrator as this one).

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...upgrade-errors

*******

If it fails, you can try the SetupDiag,
something invented around four years ago.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rade/setupdiag

"About SetupDiag

Current version of SetupDiag: 1.5.0.0

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=870142 507,056 bytes

SetupDiag is a standalone diagnostic tool that can be used
to obtain details about why a Windows 10 upgrade was unsuccessful.

HTH,

Chalk another one up to my impatience. After it finished the on-line
installing, it went into the normal reboot cycle. And once again, I got the
dreaded IRQL not less or equal error in NDIS.SYS. If I remember correctly,
I dad to go in and uninstall all the miniports that my VPN software
creates. Will see if that fixes it this time.
