I know chances are small but 'am expecting a new Fast or Skippy build today. Doing all checks and backups and deliberately placed some files in User\Documents folders.
@jimbo45 you are absolutely correct.
Windows and Linux are two completely different beasts. You can improve Linux performance quite a lot by simply statically compiling drivers into the kernel, or make it hugely slower by making all drivers dynamic. I used to experiment with this and the difference is HUGE.
Overall Windows performce has caught up with Linux quite a lot. Now the difference is very slim, but about 20 years ago I got 30-500% more performance out of a Linux system compared to Windows with similar workloads.
EDIT: Yes it's not a typo. Up to 5x faster in some cases.
It is still rigorously adhered to in one sense, it is the only cumulative update to include new security fixes. The others will normally be more like previews of the non-security fixes due to be included in the next 'Patch Tuesday' release (but will not have any new security fixes). I suspect 1809 is due to get quite a few of those 'non-security fixes' this month
It's all explained here....
Windows 10 update servicing cadence - Windows 10 ForumsUpdate Tuesday (most often referred to as Patch Tuesday) updates are published the second Tuesday of each month. These updates are the primary and most important of all the monthly update events and are the only regular releases that include new security fixes....
