it showed 1803, and I've been having this happen to some of my customer's computers too. I know 1809 is more stable now, but I still want to wait until it's released to everyone.

It has been released to everyone, some just haven't received it yet.

One more thing, you cannot have the protection from retpoline (protection from spectre variant 2) if you are still on 1803.

You do all the CU updates and all after? There are some fixes/changes for the chocolate font and other annoying things.

OR....just wait till tomorrow and Patch Tuesday. You will get a slew of 'em.

Yep, I ran a 'check for' and it came back that I needed two .net updates (4483452 and 4486553) plus two for adobe flash (4462930 and 4487038) and a defender update (2267602 - def. 1289.904.0).

Maybe I was in some sort of time dilation earlier, it feels snappier now than right after the upgrade.

Funny as this may seem, the system will self-tune to a degree. Don't take me literally, it just will settle down after a few days and reboots. Don't make too many drastic changes till you get a better feel. And backup what you've got before tomorrow's onslaught!

One thing.... Since this is a new build, next time you restart, just let the machine be for about 15-20 minutes without touching anything. There are scheduled MS processes that need to run in idle time. Maintenance, scans, etc. Fire it up and go do something else for a few minutes.

Getting closer and closer to RTM release, and all the Lab Rats are finding their sticky notes from 3 months ago.

Here is hoping they are making sure they (MS) don't repeat the same snafu we all witnessed with 1809. I really don't want to go through the same experience.

Gotcha' I'll go do the backup now.

Drastic changes? Heck seems like users are spending more time updating the damn thing than making changes.
Hmmm... I wonder if I can add those new fiber optic sensors and install the corresponding 800GB program before the next upgrade?
