A couple of little things that needed fixed after my install:
AdwCleaner shortcut could not find the file to run. D/L again and now ok
Outlook 2016 started up and told me to erase my outlook data file (.ost) since it was old?? It generated a new one and now is fine??
A new CPU microcode update from Intel is required to mitigate the MDS vulnerabilities.
And you might also have to disable Hyper-Threading if you want to be protected.
The use of Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT) – also known as Hyper-Threading – further complicates these issues since these buffers are shared between sibling Hyper-Threads. Therefore, the above changes are not sufficient to mitigate these vulnerabilities when SMT is enabled. As such, the use of SMT is not recommended when untrusted code or applications are being executed.

Mine went through without failing this time, but I did leave the computer idle for a good 3 hours whilst I was away. :)
I can see some kind of lawsuit over this. Disabling paid features. Oh boy.
KB4494441 downloaded, and installed ok first time. Everything looking fine so far.
The standalone installer for KB 4494441:
2019-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for x64-based Systems (KB4494441)\
AMD64-all-windows10.0-kb4494441-x64_8910e3c3ee2743e9ff1241557a5c447ef853f495.msi
Aborts saying:
Windows Update Standalone Installer
The update is not applicable to your computer
How do I install this update?
The other updates that appeared 5/14 have successfully been installed.
I find another build on uup dump. Can anyone tell me about this build?
Select language for Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803 (17134.765) amd64 - UUP dump
It shows twice on history as successfully installed after a 1st reboot, though it doesnt group the same update with (2) suffix, is that a new thing for 1903? currently on 1809.
