I know how you're feeling, I was also "miffed".
Even after finally receiving 1903 from WU on 6/22.
There's no way of knowing, what the issue(s) might be and all the vague, or unclear answers from...

The October 2018 update to 1809, has an end-of-support date of May 12, 2020.
This should mean, that theoretically, you should still be good, until well after the new year.
Don't sweat it.
Wait...

You're correct.
Of course, I have no way of confirming, that what I did had any effect on the 1903 update offer.

:thumbsup:

I agree and I'm advising my clients in the same manner.
With emphasis on the "Do Nothing and Wait" part.

Sorry to find this out.
In addition to restoring my folders, back to their default location.

I'm going to make a system image and then hit the "Download and install" link.

I change the location of each folder in the folder properties, after the free Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1.

Up date your OS at your now risk.:confused:

The stupid image has vanished, thankfully.

Agreed.

I apologies.
However, I have fully read your previous posts, but failed to take into account, your attempts at installing 1903.
At this time, I feel, that the best course of action, would be to...

Right, you're speculating and don't have any way of confirming what you think.
Why don't you use the Windows Update Assistant, as has been suggested to me by many in this thread?
Then, if you...

Everything on my system is running smoothly as well and I don't use CPUID.
My best guess is, that it has something to do with Microsoft's AI and nothing to do with my system not being ready....

That's odd?

Is this simply your best guess?

Right, I understand, I'm going to wait, thanks.

Thanks Bree.
I know that you're only trying to help, but how does this pertain to my issue?
I can't find anything at the link you provided, that might shed some light on this.
It all sounds like...

Right. thumbsup

Thanks for the suggestion, but that was the original point, that I was trying to make.

Do you know what a "safeguard hold" is, or are you just repeating what others have already mentioned? :mad:

That's what I suspected.

Except for the WD Black 1TB HDD, but it's just a storage drive.
The motherboard has the Z170...
