MS seems to be busy. Just got my 3rd update in the last two days.

The major spring update is rolling out now so buckle up buttercup. It was released to general roll out yesterday.

Windows 10 version 1903 for all you version fans.

To check your version, run WINVER from the RUN dialog (Windows key+R). I'm still seeing some Windows 10 systems running version 1803 from early 2018. It's time to install those updates!

Behind every good computer... is a jumble of wires 'n stuff.

I'm showing Version 1809. How do I get version 1903? Update is showing I'm up to date.
OOPS; found info here:

Will keep checking for update.

One of many sites: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_10.html. Sorry see you already found it, one of those 0 dark thirty things. It is a fairly long update. I usually do mine from a burnt DVD or flash drive so I can use them on other machines.

Do I need the media creation tool, or will MS make it available directly?

Use the Microsoft Media Creator 1903. I don't particularly trust using the online download it offers. You can do it any way you like though. It is always a good idea to make a backup but I didn't this time and it worked out fine. A long installation this time and there are two updates left afterword, .net and Adobe Flash if I remember correctly, a little tired at the moment.

Yesterday I updated from 1809 using the Windows 10 Update Assistant download. It took most of the afternoon/early evening to complete the update with several reboots.

This is what I’ve observed so far -

Old ms games no longer work – will need to find replacements.

Short cut arrows had returned – now gone again.

Hovering delay over taskbar items no longer settable through regedit settings even though the settings are unchanged from
when hovering was delayed - I haven’t found a solution yet for this annoyance.

“Classic start Menu” is still functional despite a popup that says it wasn’t compatible. So far, it is!

Edge Browser needed to be re-blocked by EdgeBlocker.

Login screen picture had been changed - now changed back.

Otherwise, I don't see anything significantly better/different from 1809.

I doubt I will roll back to 1809 just to get MS Games back - but one never knows.

Further updates, if any, as events warrant.

Jim.

Edit- MS games are back - just had to reinstall using "Win7GamesForWin10-Setup.exe".

I just did it through the Windows Insider program took about 30 minutes (ssd) because the iso I got through the Media Creation Tool wouldn't update with a usb drive attached because of a drive reassignment problem with some systems. So that was a catch 22. Build number is 18362.116 (1903)

I just got the same error with an upgrade for my WinBook, Have a HP pro tablet 10 EE G1 That will also have the same problem because it has a borked installation and can not upgrade online. The only access is USB. I will try a burned ISO with my USB DVD, but it will probably throw the same error because it will have a drive letter assigned. Hope they will fix this soon as promised.

Clearly I have not been spending enough time in forums.

I was under the impression that W10 updates happened automagically. Now I find that all three of our PCs are at version1803.

So:-

How do I go about triggering the updates?

Do I need to do 1809 or can I go direct to 1903?

If I go via USB (seems sensible with three machines to do), is a USB2 stick OK (I have several spares) or do I need USB3? (Australian sticks are expensive and start at 8gb)

I've downloaded both the Media Creation Tools via MajorGeeks.
