I've been using 1903 since it came out a month ago, Compumind, and everything seems fine so far. I try not to make a concrete statement about everything actually being fine, as long as Murphy's Law is out there looking for us! But I'm not having any problems at all.

Well, that's good news! Now, I just have to wait until it is pushed via WU...'
It would be cool to know what the AI in WU is thinking.

My wife's laptop is an Asus. I5 with 8GB's. Nothing really unique. Did not get 1809 until about a month ago and we pressed checked for updates regularly.

There ya go, Brian! You should be all set by, say, Labor Day?

Hi,
Finally got at least my x299 to update to 1903 with all the prior update options still showing
x99 system didn't after three attempts
From 1709 no 365 delay option
From 1809 same
1803 same.
Weird.

Did have to create a new reflect winpe recovery cd media
Original I had gave unknown error #9 attempting to create an image of 1903.

So far with the new winpe a 1803 image still verifies
Verifying a 1709 image now see if it still verifies with the new winpe.

Anyone using Storage Sense? Is it effective or does it remove things it should leave alone?

At first, it seemed that MS would serve newer machines because of being developed with newer hardware, but that doesn't seem to be the case as @Bree has mentioned in the last paragraph of his post #472. There is no way to know how this ML (Machine Learning) thing works. According to me, the best way to find out is to go for the Update Assistant, but making sure as usual to have a system image backup by MR.

I am currently on 1809 build 529.

I have downloaded the 1903 iso file to a usb drive from Download Windows 10 site.

I am wondering which way will be faster installing 1903. From W/U or from downloaded iso file.
Any members having this experience?

With my newest upgrades I have barely 8 months old system and yet I wasn't offered 1903 although using ISO it installed without a hitch and in record time of 22 minutes. I'm also insider in two rings and get updates the minute they are available. No, there must be something else.
