Windows 10 1809 Home Edition support question!?  

Hi,
Yeah it is interesting 1809 was way less than considered stable and ms actually made it to where they skipped 1809 entirely and jumped people to 1903 and then to 1909 if they were still way back

Please explain why you don't want to update to the current version, Ver 1909. There's nothing wrong with it apart from a limitation in File explorer searching [which can be side-stepped by using a third-party search utility such as NirSoft's SearchMyFiles]

Previous experiences primarily. Plus the knowledge of sitting on an LTSC branch(higher likelyhood of having less issues in general).

Taking up that endeavour again and generally hoping to get lucky isn't a heartwarming prospective.

1903 had a buggy kernel driver, that generated DPC latency spikes up to 4K ms and if I'm not mistaking it for something else, visible microstutter(though yet, the same config on 1809, had none of that... so, myeah).

I don't remember which component it was anymore. It was sometime last year, when I didn't have the regedits in place, my 1809 install automatically upgraded to it.

I'm generally distrustful of MS producing a version of the OS without these sputtering issues under the hood.

As a regular user I wouldn't care obviously, but as a gamer occasionally, I do.

Where is the wording for the "However, extremely rarely, Microsoft might still issue updates for highly critical security vulnerabilities that may potentially have a major impact on no longer serviced versions such as Windows 10 1809." sentence sourced from?
Is Sergiu Gatlan reputable?

He is stating the fact that MS have already done this for XP....

Microsoft said:

Given the potential impact to customers and their businesses, we made the decision to make security updates available for platforms that are no longer in mainstream support (see download links in the following table). These updates are available from the Microsoft Update Catalog only. We recommend that customers running one of these operating systems download and install the update as soon as possible.

Hi,
If you really cared about performance you'd still be on 1705

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 may not be installed when using unsupported Windows versions.

Microsoft Defender updates have continued on an unsupported Windows version.

I think that during those days I was sitting on my Win7.

Which I would still but ya know...times changed.

I settled on Win10 in 2018 IIRC. 1809, obviously... and before that point, was always on Win7.


... Ahh yes, now I remember. After I bought this mobo, Win7, no USB support, so there you go. Since then. And it's been, quite a bit of rough edges.

Why 1705 though, what's special about it? I didn't look backwards in the build versions when I was making the initial choice

Aight, thanks for clearing that up.

Guess'll have to start hunting for the stable'ish version... /sigh

Suggestions? Tips?

1909 on all my computers.

Hi,
1705 had the best performance could of been 1703 I don't remember
Then buggy 1803 came out which has been the ms model, new builds make older builds look good

FYI, the builds were:

1909 November 12, 2019
1903 May 21, 2019
1809 November 13, 2018
1803 April 30, 2018
1709 October 17, 2017

Hi,
Yep I didn't update it much mostly off the internet
It was just for overclocking benchmarks
Most it was online was about 1 minute just to get a oc link from a test to post
