there checking the update before full roll out

This should have been done before it was released. This is one heck of a way to run a railroad. An old friend of mine use to say that .

A GREAT MANY THANKS, mate. Downloading it right-now.

If it has a slight odor of Peugeot Sound, just ignore it......

Don't blame you a bit! Think he was trying to do an In-Place Repair.

I couldn't have said that better myself...All I need right now is a MCT for 1809.

I just made version 1809 ISO and USB, with all updates making it build 17763.55. Process is quite easy if you want to try, to get media for repair or clean install.

You just need a USB install media for build 17763.1, with install.wim file. MCT install media has install.esd file which can't be updated offline. If you only have ESD based installer (MCT), you must either download WIM based ISO, or convert your MCT install.esd to install.wim.

• Convert ESD to WIM:
  
  • Convert ESD file to WIM using DISM in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials
• Download WIM based ISO:
  
  • Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool
• Create USB install media from ISO:
  
  • PowerShell Scripting - Create USB Install Media for Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

When done, update 17763.1 to 17663.55 as told in this tutorial: PowerShell Scripting - Update Windows 10 USB install media | Windows 10 Tutorials

Notice that downloading updates as told in above mentioned tutorial step 1.1, you should download the last cumulative update KB4464330 , update KB4465477, and all updates published after them (currently just one Adobe Flash Player update).

That's it. Now you have build 17753.55 USB install media for repair or clean installs.

I am not on any ring, slow, fast or skip ahead for that matter. Unless I don't understand your question, you are already on the updated version if you are an insider. I guess that's the purpose of the testing before the re-release of 1809. The confusion lies in the fact that the build number for insiders is lower than 17763 according to what I have read in some posts before.

I am talking about how can Insiders test the fix. I know it has not affected me but would like to be active in testing the fix.

I have decided to install 1803 in a vm, put a few files in documents folder and KFR to another partition/drive l, and then join Slow Ring and wait for the new update of 1809.

I assume the update to 1809 will hit the Soiw Ring, as it is too late for the Fast Ring.

I am also going to try updating 1803 as above in a separate VM using a current 1809 iso.

Then at least I will have tested the new 1809.
