Getting the Windows 10 November 2019 Update Ready for Release Insider

TC, so there's no references to 18362? as in my screenshots?

There seems to be a new registry entry 'CurrentBuild' that conflicts with 'Buildlab'

I just sent the updated ShowKeyPlus to the store this morning -- now may need to retract as it references BuildLab (which on mine has the wrong build version)

I'm on RP now, and mine seems to be a mirror image of yours. Hmmmm.... just a S.W.A.G. - the registry Current Build is Window Dressing only. No pun intended, but fits. WINVER must pick that up to show the user. All else is the same, which keeps with the theory of making it appear to be a new build, when it's a continuation of 19H1 fed with CUs.

Mine is also the mirror of Yours.

Hehe Fake out!! Ge, wow.... now I have the original release!

Yep, used for Display to the World. Guts are 19H1.

Thanx ... the Window Dressing is OK but after it has had a good scubbing! Like in Crystal clear - but then has that ever been MS?

That's confusing for Insiders in the Slow Ring. Are they saying change now or wait until it is updated to 18363.xxx?

Yes, I’d like to know, too. I switched all my computers that were on slow ring to RP —- nothing else happens after reboot.

Switching to the RP Ring won't change anything if you are on the Slow Ring. MS needs to release an update for the SR which brings the version number in line with the current RP build.

Thanks, DooGie. Your 'signature line' says it all, too.

Microsoft: If you are an Insider who wishes to remain on the November 2019 Update – you will want to switch to the Release Preview ring. In the coming weeks, we plan to move Insiders who are on Build 18362.100xxx forward to the final November 2019 Update build.

I interpret Microsoft as saying here, "If you are on the Slow Ring @ v1903 build 18362.100xx, and you want to stick with the final build instead of going on to 20H1 with the Slow Ring, go ahead and move to the RP Ring now and in a couple of weeks we will move you to the final November 18363.xxx build."

I already tried moving myself into the Preview Ring 18363 build by doing an upgrade install of the 18363 ISO on the Flight Hub on top of 18362.10022--but I ended up with 18363.10022....guaranteed to never get updates because of the hybrid build #. So, I reverted my 18363.10022 partition via Macrum Reflect back to 18362.10022, and moved to the RP Ring, where I shall patiently await being moved to the final November build...
