Here's more details below on these updates. :-0

Two machines went well, the 3rd one did not want to cooperate. @ %100 installing, error msg "..could not complete installation.. will try again some time later". After 3 tries, deleted everything in download folder, did a sfc /scannow restarted computer and it completed without error.
what are optional updates really for are they like test builds as last time i did one it really messed up my machine
Yes, they are tests for the next patch release:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/...ce/ba-p/222376The “C” and “D” releases occur the third and fourth weeks of the month, respectively. These preview releases contain only non-security updates, and are intended to provide visibility and testing of the planned non-security fixes targeted for the next month’s Update Tuesday release. These updates are then shipped as part of the following month’s “B” or Update Tuesday release.
Hi folks
Updating on a Virtual Machine first -- I'm always sceptical on these builds if Network will continue working -- on my systems networking is often broken by Windows New builds so I'll test first with a Virtual Machine .
Upgrading now
All OK inc network
1) Windows version
2) Network from one NAS server --shows Windows VM (and 2 other NAS's)
3) Network From Windows VM shows all the NAS's (3)
job done -- so next I'll update existing Windows machine.
Update --also working properly on Windows laptop -- was quick via WU and a re-start required. Just a few minutes.
cheers

Completed update, ran SFC no errors. Wasn't fast like others, running on a Vista era Laptop.
Downloaded, and installed here. Looking good. Looking forward to 20H1 !
