Believe it or not it's deliberate. To quote MS. We have done this to raise the input box in the visual hierarchy.

I have great difficulty in finding my plain white text input box against a full black background - I must be black white colour blind. This new visual acuity screen would be perfect if it was not vomit inducing.

(PS - touch of sarcasm above).

I take it the new Feature update is still being rolled out? I haven't got v1903 yet via WU.

Yes, and there is no way of predicting when it will be offered to you.

Funnily enough as soon as I posted the above, I did a check and it's came through!

Has the issue regarding external drives been remedied yet? If so I'll download it when I get home.

Yes, they say it has with the release of 18362.145 yesterday.

I got the 1903 feature update via WU yesterday and let it run overnight. This morning it was ready to restart and it took about 40 minutes to complete the installation. I found I was on 18362.145. The update appears to have gone smoothly.

Downloaded the 64 bit ISO, extracted it and installed from the destination drive.
I left all drives and cards in this time to see if it would do an in place upgrade with no issues, as is.
All went well, but it took about an hour.
I ended with 1903.18362.145 which I take to be the 10.5.19 update.
It's running fine so far.
Very pleased I didn't have the upgrade issues I had in the past:)))

Hmm, seems like my problems with update could be related also to that USB bug. I tried to install it by mounting the iso and it worked without an error, so now I can enjoy the May Update.

Did you manually push it? or did you get it automatically through WU? I haven't gotten it yet on my main machine. I'm going to wait until June 11th. My patience is running thin after that date I think.

I did click the check for updates in settings and got the message that it was ready for download. I have two other older machines that have not yet received the feature update.
