How to get the Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903

...I only just recently (as of my last posting) restored the folders back to their default locations...

Seems that did the trick....

This showed up this morning.... I'm going to make a system image and then hit the "Download and install" link.

...odd though, the 'safeguard hold' on redirected folders was supposedly removed a week or so ago.

Resolution: This issue was resolved in KB4497935 and the safeguard hold has been removed....

I really don't know what to call it "Whack-a-mole" or "Cat & mouse" game, but the image in post # 1101 has come back again this morning, after having disappeared just recently. I don't have a clue of what's going on, but I am going to let MS play it...

My two cents... I have a number of customers that have asked about the Feature Update.

I've told them I will not force the update and to remain patient, there is absolutely nothing they need. After about three months I might have a change of stance. A working machine is far better than an unpleasant experience on a new update.

My wife's machine only got 1809 a few months ago. I still have my daily device on defer.

I couldn't agree with you more. You have hit the nail right on the head. I cannot even describe how fluid and smooth my production machine on 1809 is running right now. It is as if I were on SSD, which I don't have. I am definitely going to leave like that for now and would be really hesitant to go for 1903 even if it was offered.

Sorry to find this out.
In addition to restoring my folders, back to their default location.
I also ran these DISM commamds, after running the System File Checker :
1) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
2) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

I have also run them, but in my case I don't think the problem lies there. As I said before, it could be many reasons: wi-fi certificate issues, µcrocode firmware for my CPU (I know a patch has been issued for mine 306C3, but maybe I will get it through Windows Update), drivers issue (not my graphic display adapter which is definitely up-to-date) Software incompatibility issue, and I can go on and on... This is why it is better left for MS to figure it all out.

You are luckier than I am, because 1903 is being offered to you. Now the decision is yours.
