How to get the Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903

Anyone else find that the System Restore feature is disabled as default after build 1903 has been installed?

I just checked mine and it's still enabled.

Just checked it on the other PC I just 'updated' using the media creation USB tool and that PC also has System Restore turned off as default. Maybe it's due to the PC's being upgraded and not fresh installs maybe?

Im still on 1809 but System Restore being set as disabled has been the default setting for a long time. I have to go into System Restore settings and enable it after every Windows 10 clean installation if I want to use it

I think it is Microsoft's 'machine leaning' rollout adapting to the telemetry MS gathers and changing the update 'blocks'

Not sure what glorified (and over-abused recently either, bull%^&t bingo anyone?) 'machine learning' term has to do with it? It's a simple matter of verification of device driver installation, following installation scripts and looking for expected results in logs (either related to device or system ones).

What probably has occurred: update engine sensed change to the device driver and decided to postpone update process by few days - whilst observing in the background my system behaviour.

What's curious in this case however is that said updated device driver has been issued by and downloaded from Microsoft directly (as per the link supplied above). And this driver is up & available since early April - so 2 months now.

So, go figure.
Thus, I don't have a problem with not having 1903 offered today as I don't believe it's ready yet - this option will probably return within the next couple of days - but my example simply proves that Microsoft continuously remains not compatible with itself.

In Windows Update under the advanced tab there's a checkbox called "give me updates for other Microsoft Products". Does anyone know if this is related to anything important? Mine is not checked.

I leave that box unchecked too. In the past I checked it and it set up Silverlight software which I didn't want. I suppose it would be good to leave it checked if you use MS Office. In my case I don't. I prefer Apache Open Office..and its free lol

Mine was the other way around. It was off when on 1809 and the upgrade turned it on.

On my laptop with a small drive running 1809 it was disabled until I enabled it.

Microsoft's language, not mine....

Microsoft automatically modify how they decided if a machine will be offered 1903 based on telemetry from other like machines that have already upgraded. If other machines like ours don't have a 'positive update experience' we are likely to see the offer withdrawn. I've given up trying to understand why Microsoft's 'computer says no'....

Our AI/Machine Learning approach started with a pilot program during the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update rollout. We studied characteristics of devices that data indicated had a great update experience and trained our model to spot and target those devices. In our limited trial during the Fall Creators Update rollout, we consistently saw a higher rate of positive update experiences for devices identified using the AI model, with fewer rollbacks, uninstalls, reliability issues, and negative user feedback. For the April 2018 Update rollout, we substantially expanded the scale of AI by developing a robust AI machine learning model to teach the system how to identify the best target devices based on our extensive listening systems.
