Microsoft now auto updating Windows 10 version 1803 and older to 1903

Seems the auto updating has today been extended to include 1809 machines. Just had this appear on two of my 1809 machines. @Brink, has there been any official announcement?



Others have reported this too.

i just discovered that there are some people who have build 1809 and they were forcibly upgraded to 1903 now.

how exactly does the notify before download option work


Edit: Make that three machines now, my test machine (System Two below) has just had it appear too. In fact, I haven't yet found any 1809 machine that isn't getting the feature update pushed onto it.

I haven't seen anything, but at least it has a download button.

MMy system auto checked yesterday at 2:43P and still has the “Download and Install” button/link. Guess I’ll check in the morning tomorrow. Better get a system image started tonight.

Well, the system auto checked at 11:23P last night and as I type this the update to v.1903 is at 91% installed. The System Image I started at 10:30P last night was running when the install started. Fortunately, I have another System Image from right after the v.1809 install if this auto update goes awry.

The v.1903 update took 11.5 hours to download/install and another hour to do the update. Then another hour to download and install two additional updates. No errors, but Firefox and Windows Live Mail were completely trashed. All mail folders and all bookmarks were lost as well as the setups for each app. Restoring v.1809 from the windows.old folder. Wasted all day. Thanks MS for forcing the version update when it wasn’t wanted.

The restore to V.1809 went well and restored Firefox, Windows Live Mail, and the desktop to what they were before the v.1903 update. Update and Security panel now shows that there were two installs of v.1903 with the first failing with error code 0x802400d and the second automatically restarting. That hadn't been displayed before for some reason. Will be running another system image tonight with the internet connection disconnected.

Wondering if the System Image save running at the same time as the v.1903 update caused the first v.1903 update to fail? Not feeling like spending the time to research it though.
