Should I do it that way, or as you suggest simply press the Check for Updates button and see if 1909 appears along with the Download and install link? Then press that link? Normally I would dial back the Feature update deferral to a more recent number and wait for Windows updater to update and present the more recent Feature (1909) for download. Group Policy setting = 2 (ask before download), Feature update set at 365 deferred days, Quality updates set to 0, with wushowhide currently hiding all February 1903 updates. OK so I am with Woody on moving from 1903 to 1909.Ĭurrently I have 1903 Pro 圆4 updated thru January. I’ve been waiting for the sky to fall since Windows 7 was introduced. To use another context, if users were polled, 1% would be much less than the margin for error of the poll.Īnd certainly my personal evidence is anecdotal, but it is firsthand, not secondhand or third-hand evidence. For me, “widespread” implies greater than 1%.

He hasn’t had a single problem in the four+ years he’s been using these laptops.Īs I’ve said elsewhere, 1% of Windows 10 installed base is ~10,000,000 installations. My son, for example, has two Windows 10 Home laptops, doesn’t give two hoots about updating, just lets Microsoft take care of that. For those who simply don’t pay attention to updates and let Microsoft update their systems automatically, that would leave them fully updated, like me, and unlikely to have problems, like me and the others who have reported similar results right here on AskWoody. I install every update Microsoft has to offer my five systems with nary an ill effect. I, for one, never took it to be “widespread”. If you’re going to use the term, we readers need something a little less ambiguous than “widespread”, or at the very least more than anecdotal evidence to back it up.
