Use the appropriate download link from KB5000736 Featured update Windows 10 version 21H1 enablement package near the end of the OP.

This is i'm trying to download:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/...304c0548dd.msu
I can't download

Hmm...

I was presented with 21H1 via WU push and installed on two systems.

After rebooting, I tried running WU again and it just keeps searching on and off.
Does anyone have the same problem?

At my home. 3 computers running Windows 10.

2 Months-old Laptops
1 Desktop from 2010 (HP Pavilion)

The download and install was relatively fast, like a regular monthly update.

But, the 2 newer laptops required a second restart, after the first restart.

There was no "restart required" fly-out for the second restart. But when pressing the "Power" icon, two options were "Update and Restart" and "Update and Shut Down". First time I've experienced a need for 2 restarts.

The older desktop only required (the usual) 1 restart.

If this 21H1 is a big update, why didn't Windows say, "You have successfully updated to the latest version of Windows-10. Here are all the new whiz-bang features you'll enjoy in 21H1." ??

Maybe 21H1 only contains goodies for those are into games and the 3D stuff, which is why I see and feel no difference from 20H2 and 21H1.

I just performed the update to 21H1 today. Why does the system say it was installed on 12/21/2020? (See below)

Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 21H1
Installed on ‎12/‎21/‎2020
OS build 19043.985
Serial number xxxxxxxxxxx
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0

Because it's not a proper upgrade, it's a mini upgrade activating code that was already in place by an enablement package.

Plunged down the rabbit hole after creating a current disk image- and seem to have emerged unscathed.

I noted visual search added to taskbar search:


Meanwhile this must be some kind of personal record- 2 feature updates listed in succession..

It's not offering it to me yet on my old lappy. Not going to force it.
