How to get the Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903

My image with the message:


is also gone. The only change made to my machine was just the installation of the latest CU (KB4501371) from MS update Catalog, which brought my OS build to 17763.592. Does that mean I am soon to receive 1903?. I will wait and see. For sure, I am not going to use the Update Assistant, considering my previous experience where I had to toll back twice with a system image made with MR because of bugs.

Is there any way to know with which version of cumulative update, MCT will make ISO?

This is taken from a thread back in March 2019: What version of Win 10 is downloaded by MCT

When you use the MCT to make a usb or ISO by default it makes one with the 'bits' and language appropriate for the machine running the MCT. To have a free choice, you must un-tick 'Use the recommended options for this PC'. See Option One in this tutorial.

As for the build version, last time I checked the MCT made media for build 17763.253. The intention is that you should check for updates, either during the install/upgrade or after installing. The latest Cumulative Update will then bring you fully up to date.

I'm not sure about Bree's term, he mentions 'bits and language':

appropriate for the machine running the MCT

But it could also mean the build / version that you machine already has or it could mean the next higher build / version, I'm not sure.

Please read the whole thread to understand the context of Bree's quote.

Before you start to download the ISO? Yes, there is.

Just run the MCT until you see the Software License page. Do NOT close the MCT yet. Open the file: C:\$Windows.~WS\Sources\Products.xml in Notepad. There you will see an esd for every possible language and version the MCT can create. The build number is included in the names of the esd files, currently they are all still on 18362.30. For example:

18362.30.190401-1528.19h1_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTCONSUMER_RET_x64FRE_en-us.esd

Code:

          <File>

My remark is in reference to the Update Assistant...

Apparently, after I change the location of these folders, back to their default locations.

Which I had previously redirected to a different drive.
The image miraculously went away.

That is interesting. I used Windows assistant to upgrade my tablet where I have both Downloads & Documents redirected to a SDCARD (D:), and the upgraded didn't switch them back. If I double click on one of those quick access icons, and it takes me to the SDCARD location.
@Geosammy, did you leave the drive where the redirected folders online when you upgraded windows ?

Your folders are ONLINE if you can access them, they are OFFLINE if you cannot access them.

Your saying that the windows upgraded didn't change the location of those folders, you change the location prior to upgrading windows ?
