On a old laptop with windows 10 1709 I have used wushowhide.diagcab to block the update 1803 and indeed that update is blocked (I've done it because that update did not succeed on my windows 10 1709).
But my question is: will the update 1809 now still perform?
I'ts important because there are only 1709 updates until april 2019 by microsoft
Hi louis14
Not sure how anyone could answer this with certainty.
Not understanding why your machine did not upgrade to 1803 means no can answer with certainty that 1809 will install through the update process. That said it very well might update successfully.
While your machine may not update to 1803 have you tried a clean install. Older laptops usually have a very accessible HDD so you could try on a spare HDD.
You also didn't mention how you tried the upgrade to 1803. There is the inplace upgrade by which you download bootable media and then run setup. This keeps all data and programs (apps). Did you try this method?
Did you document what error codes you received when you were doing the update to 1803.
Could you also please update your spec so we can see what HP laptop you are working with.
