I am already on Build 19042.572 (Beta) and checked for Updates twice and didn't get anything. I think it has to do with "Some settings are managed by your organization" because of some configuration I put myself in GP Editor.
All I need is the enablement package that I will get from the instructions in first page.

You won't get offered the update because you already have it. I tried to refresh my 19042.572 from the Microsoft Software Download page. Once I started, a window popped up thanking me for upgrading. That was all. You could do a repair or clean install using the ISO, but I think that's the only way.

I guess I won't be receiving anything?

When it gets here, I really, really hope it does not put that hideous header on my clean settings page.

You mean like this...

That is exactly what I realized. I have just downloaded the ISO and going to do a repair install.

Well, MCT finally finished downloading ISO, I'm about to try installation now.

ISO mounted

PROBLEM, only Keep nothing can be selected and that's not what I want to do at this time.

I can't make an ISO on DVD drive - says file is too large. So I'm trying a thumb drive. Want to put it on a different drive.

7 minutes from clicking optional update link to installation.

It took a surprisingly long time, (about 40 min) but otherwise everything went well and everything seems to work.

To all -

Nothing yet.

Better make a full backup image first - but you know that, right?
What real *fixes* does this release bring?

Hmmmm, I already have that. Looks like there's nothing for me to update ?
