Thanks for the kind reply, Brink.
This is quite an anticlimax. What a shame.

Although it says 18362, the 1909 ISO will also contain and install the enablement package that turns on the 1909 features and ups the build to 18363.418.

I saw the same with an earlier 1909 ISO that I got from UUPDump. Dism reports 18362 but a clean install using that ISO was 18363.

Option Three: the direct download of an ISO from Microsoft now only lists the 1909 ISO.

Brink, goopy and Bree:

How to get the Windows 10 November 2019 Update version 1909

Versioning

You can verify that the Windows 10, version 1909 update was successful by running Winver, versioning APIs, WMI, and other common interfaces, and verifying that the operating system build number is 18363. Because of the common baseline, even after installing Windows 10, version 1909, individual system file versions will still appear as 18362.

Greetings Brink and Bree, thanks for the clarification.
Both of you are right of course. Apologies for jumping the gun.
