- a tad unfortunate that bears some phonetic similarity to 'it's a mess'

Well thought!. Really like this one.

. BTW, I have already rolled back to 1809 since the next day after installing 1903; I found out there were too many bugs to fix. The way I see it a FU is supposed to improve things, not the other way around.

It provides all you need for an install — no 3rd party needed.

Failed again...

So, probably better to wait for the upgrade to come down to the windows updater to hopefully avoid possible problems?
I was tempted to try it manually but then considered perhaps better to wait...

If you have room on the PC's HDD, copy Setup.exe and the Sources folder from the install usb to a temp folder on the PC. Remove the usb then do a repair install by running Setup from the temp folder. Done that on several of mine. Delete the temp folder when done.

I'm going to try this as a last resort and if it doesn't work I'm staying on 1809 until the update shows up in WU.

Absolutely !!
If I was on a budget and/or not in workforce, I sure wouldn't have either the nas or an external ssd.
Agree with you on the OEMs trying to save $$ by not installing them, yet my belief is it's corporate greed that drives it all, as it gives them another reason to offer something new, yet make people pay more for something that isn't adequate.
We unfortunately live in a world where we are told what you need / should have and then inundated with bullshit advertisements to try and back it all up. It's going down the toilet

CD/DVD drives are very outmoded, I can barely find any media for them any more. As I have hundreds of CDs and DVDs, I got an external USB drive bat rarely use it. Speed and capacity are way lower than even slowest HDDs.
