A play on words. This system was created using 1507, has been upgraded twice a year all the way to 1809 which was installed last month. Its never had a BSOD ever !

I use Dark Reader in Chrome and I can see what it says:


But, when I disable it, I can't see what it says:

I use the dark theme also.

Not really!. With over millions and millions of users with different system configurations, bugs happen and will continue to happen in the future.



I totally agree with your approach. If you remember, it was a minority that had their data files deleted after installing 1809 update when it first came out. The vast majority of users around the world didn't have this issue, even though @bru said it didn't want to do it like you have suggested. I think it's the only way to find out why @bru is not receiving 1809 yet. Remember the following:

Note on upgrade blocks:

Blocking the availability of a Windows 10 feature update to devices we know will experience issues is a key aspect of our controlled rollout approach to provide users with a great update experience. We decide what to block based on user impact from closely monitoring feedback and device diagnostics. Blocking issues are a high priority for us to address as quickly as possible. If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we will not install the update until that issue is resolved, even if you “Check for updates”. We do this so that you avoid encountering any known problems.

Windows 10 October 2018 Update version 1809 Now Re-Released



All of the above is to say that if I were in your shoes, I would heed the advice of @f14tomcat and give it a try (have a go at it) in order to find out if you have any issue after upgrading to 1809 with the .iso of MCT. You can always roll back with a system image backup. LOl!

Either you don't understand what I said or you are mistaken. Microsoft wants to install all updates for their OS, that is a fact. Sure they give you other ways to do it but for 99% of the world who aren't literate enough this is how MS decided it should be handled starting with Windows 10 when they changed the update process. I shouldn't have to manually install an upgrade to their OS because they can't distribute it to me. Not sure why people defend a company that four months later can't distribute an update? People here like to install, tinker, play etc. I don't. I expect MS to distribute and install their update, so far they haven't.

One thing I will say, the 99%, they don't really give a hoot about an OS update, likely don't even know it is out there and would rather it not update. The 99% just want a working computer.

Even after 41 years of working with computer operating systems, I still want one that works reliably. Mine does now and that's why I'm waiting for MS to get their act together (ROFL) for this one. I appreciate the 1% who keep the daylight shinning on things.
