    I called Microsoft today. Apparently they were having activation server issues yesterday and today. The very helpful tech did it manually for me.

    I have upgraded to the Pro primarily to be able to delay feature updates. What setting do you recommend under advanced?

    I have it currently set to allow security updates right away and the rest as semi-annual targeted and feature updates delayed 90 days.

    glad that worked out!

    Pro is a great advantage in terms of controlling feature updates as you're aware.
    I set it to have feature updates for 365 days (= I do that manually by downloading the iso when I wish).
    I set updates to Notify via group policy. That way I get an Action Centre notification, click on that, Settings opens to show update. (= I can apply the update when I wish).

    That means I can update my disk image before attempting a feature update.
    Should that fail, I have the iso ready to try again without downloading again.

    Active hours is set to the full 18 hours

    Ok thanks. I'll familiarize myself with group policy.
