How to get the Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903

So then it's a bug. I clicked twice and the notification is still there, I'll restart later and see if it's gone. Will update this post.

try just sign-off/on

So then why the same KB number is showing as already installed on 5/30?

Windows 10, version 1809 update history may show an update installed twice
Affected platforms:

• Client: Windows 10, version 1809

Cause:
In certain situations, installing an update requires multiple download and
restart steps. In cases where two intermediate steps of the
installation complete successfully, the View your Update history page will report that installation completed successfully twice.


Resolution:
No action is required on your part. The update installation may take
longer and may require more than one restart, but will install
successfully after all intermediate installation steps have completed.
We are working on improving this update experience to ensure the Update history correctly reflects the installation of the latest cumulative update (LCU).

[QUOTE=Faith;1648666]Exactly. I think there's some incompatibility with the Realtek HD Audio, it's the only link I've seen that makes sense and why I haven't been offered 1903 yet. But it's not listed in their known issues list, and that is what makes it so confusing, especially when you saw the update disappearing from Wu after changing that specific driver. It doesn't help when I have Mike Ybarra telling lies on Twitter that ALL users should see it there now.

I'm going to make an ISO with UUPDump to update the seven computers in my Senior Activity Center classroom, then have my students do the job. Ought be a kick in the head, if you know what I mean . . . Skill levels aren't all that great, but they do know enough to mount the ISO with instructions showing on the 50" TV we have mounted as my duplicate monitor. And with me floating about the room to be sure everything happens as it should.

No offense but I know how ISO mounting works, I know how to force it today in a heartbeat, but here's an idea. Let Windows Update... Gee, I dunno… Update my computer, maybe? It's the principle that gets me all sorts of mad.

Thing is, Faith, that the Senior Activity Center is open from 7:30 to 3:30 and their Internet is slower than molasses in January; IOW, about 10 to 12 mbps, and well, you know how long that's gonna take to download! I tried that with one of the computers we weren't using at the moment, and had to leave a note on it, saying it was updating and please don't try to use. Went back the next day and had to finish the process.

This isn't something I'm willing to do for seven active computers because people wander in at all times of the day wanting to use one. I'd have to stay in the room with them from start to the end of the day, then go back the next morning.

By using UUPDump, I and my students can get the job done without disrupting the organization, so to speak. Sometimes shortcuts are the way one has to go, and I'm not above taking that shortcut if it helps a 501c3 organization that's dedicated to senior citizens.

I would wait a bit, IMHO. Not good to force it - had problems in the past with other builds that way.
1903 is still being pushed out gradually with additional fixes.

It's not the wait, Compumind . . . I wouldn't mind that. It's that the download speed is somewhere around 10 to 12 mbps, and it would take at least two days to get the job done with such a slow download. On top of that, these aren't the newest computers around, so they're really slow.

Mounting an ISO and going that route is almost a necessity because these computers are used daily by the senior citizens who don't have anything else to use. We even have one minister who comes in and writes his sermons on one of these computers. He then prints it. So . . .

Because I teach Windows 10, I've learned to do pretty much everything necessary to get computers updated, which means I'm pretty proficient with UUPDump and mounting ISOs. I've tested it, and so far, haven't had any problems with any version I've put on my test machines and partitions.

Ouch! That is slow but I understand your situation, lol.

I was offered 1903 in the early hours of Friday morning in WU....so I set it in motion only to find that later it had failed. I therefore clicked on the "Retry" button and the download notification went from 0% to 100% in a matter of minutes (so I presume the actual file/files had been downloaded). Everything went fine until the installation hit 85%.....then it stayed on 85% for hours....and I really mean like "14 hours".
So had no choice but to do a forced shutdown.
On restart after quite a few minutes.....I was back to my desktop.
I then went to WU and the 1903 update was sitting there waiting to be downloaded/installed once again.
I clicked on "Install Now".......and then a short Definition Update for Windows Defender downloaded and installed.....then "Checking for updates"............"You're up to date"
1903 wasn't being offered to me anymore ???


At the end of the video they say "We hope you enjoy your 'update experience".
Yeah, right.

update:

1903 has reappeared and currently at 82% in the installation process. (fingers, legs and eyes crossed)
