My update went well and fast, so far so good, except for:My timeline was also turned back on. One more time and I'm going to try: Enable or Disable Timeline in Windows 10 Option Two Reg file since I don't have group editor.

My 2 "old clunker" test PCs updated with no issues - 1 that I've left open grabbed the updates, downloaded this and the routine updates, installed and requested Restart
Network UNMETERED
Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted)
Feature updates deferred for 0 days
Quality updates deferred for 0 days
The other one is set thus:
Network METERED
Semi-Annual Channel
Feature updates deferred for 365 days
Quality updates deferred for 30 days
This one waited for me to set Quality updates to 0 and do a Manual check - then it too downloaded this and the routine updates, installed and requested Restart.
No obvious problems - both machines subjectively feel a little quicker but I haven't done any scientific tests
To be perfectly clear, does it actually delete the latest update, or the earliest update?
If it only shows the last 50 that would be very useful. I've done a quick search but not found anything useful.
I wonder if the Quality, Driver and Other updates behave in the same way if they ever reach 50....anyone?
Just looking at mine, it apparently keeps the latest (newest) 50 while deleting the older ones.
Because people think privacy trumps continuity? It's a double-sided argument. Personally, I think convenience shouldn't come at the price of being tracked.
If only MS wanted to use the telemetry to actually improve the product. I don't think following trends to establish features should be a thing entirely, however. Imagine how the data is skewed always toward the lowest common denominator.
OK, one thing that does puzzle me is the Service Stack Update.
Why is this required? Two scenarios for ordinary users. You update manually using the Cumulative; so the Cumulative *should* be all that is required. You are either at the last build (Delta Update is applied) or some other build (Cumulative Update is applied). You are updating from a clean install of 17134.1, the latest Cumulative *should* be all that is required.
I do a mix of WU (always from last build) or manual (always full Cumulative) if there are issues or failures after two attempts.
So why is the SSU listed? I don't have any installed, ever.
