Hi guys, I tried installing this update using the cab file 'Download KB4577063 CAB for Windows 10 build 19042.546 version 20H2 64-bit (x64) - 349 MB' on the 1st page, but after the installation my winver is showing 19041.546. Why & what went wrong?

Hi there
I think you need to change Windows update insider selection to deveoper and then you should get the 19042 build.

Cheers

Thank you, that is indeed what I asked for. It shows the version name as 2009, while all methods of finding the version name within the OS itself (eg Winver) will say 20H2 for the Insider build. Which will be used as the name for the release version is therefore still an open question.

According to Microsoft it will be 20H2.

Thank you, that was also what I was asking for - a quote direct from Microsoft....

Microsoft said:

...a format that represents the half of the calendar year in which the release becomes available in retail and commercial channels. Windows 10, version 20H2 is, therefore, “20H2”

...Now if only the right hand would let the left hand know what it was doing over in Redmond

And change their historic internal setup totally? I don't think so.
