When should I expect update to 1903 via Windows Update

In India, I got download and install 1903 in my laptop.

My son's laptop was offered the 1903 update yesterday (Friday). I installed it and checked everything out and all was good. Now both computers are updated. Again I'd like to say that all the replies to my thread(s) are always much appreciated. This is an excellent forum!

read Susan Bradley's article on that page titled "Are we ready for the new Windows 10 1903?"

ex. the 1903 version will not be offered to machines running Trend Micro antivirus / internet security software as their products are not yet compatible with 1903; they're behind schedule on that one

edit: I did manually upgrade one of my PCs from Win10 v1803 to v1903 and I encountered no serious problems. only a few minor ones like the start meu not showing or popping up after clicking on the Start button; I had to use an Admin command prompt (cmd.exe) and type in shutdown.exe -r to manually restart the computer and after the reboot the start menu worked correctly again. also some windows system sounds may not play at all or not play completely (partial audio problem). in the end after trying out 1903 for a few weeks, I decided to go back to an earlier version such as 1803 or 1809; still some leftover "bugs" in 1903 to be ironed out but I may upgrade again in mid-summer around late July or early August.

I have Windows 10 version 1809 and it is working perfect.

Windows 10 1903 May 2019 Feature Update has recently appeared on my updates as an optional "install when you are ready" update. It is kept in permanent suspension from normal updates.


Checking the web on this Windows 10 1903 May 2019 Feature Update, I find that even experienced users have had a lot of trouble downloading and installing this update and trouble thereafter with auxiliary programs failing.
Complaints of frozen downloads or installs, being stuck at incomplete for many hours and having to attempt a traumatic restore of previous Windows, plus more problems.
Some have installed it without trouble and it is working well. Who Dares Wins ?
It depends upon your individual PC, device and set-up.

My decision is to put this update on ice until such a time as it has been officially cleaned of trouble by time, feedback and Microsoft updates and auxiliary programs have had time to catch up and become compatible. After the October 2018 debacle with Windows 10 Feature Update 1809, I am going to tread very carefully, observing the golden rule - If it 'aint broke, don't fix it..

2 - 4 months delay in installing 1903 should be adequate for debugging.

Windows 1903 incorporates a sandbox, which may conflict with users who use Sandboxie.

Windows 10 version 1809 end of service life is May 12, 2020, so there is no rush to install 1903.
End of service life for Windows 1903 is December 8, 2020.

Supplementary to the above post, I add this final comment, which sums up my own conclusion for Windows 10 1903 May 2019 Feature Update.

There have been many users reporting trouble updating to Windows 1903, varying from minor malfunctions to major ones, where attempted restore to Windows 1809 has been necessary. Some downloadings and installations have stuck indefinitely, forcing the users to crash their PC's and face the consequences.

My post above summarised the situation perfectly.
There is no rush to have 1903, so why take unnecessary risks. There is no reason at all except curiosity and as we all know "curiosity killed the cat".

Let 1903 remain on the shelf for 3 months, more or even to the end of 1809 service life on May 12, 2020. Nothing is lost.
While 1809 is working to perfection, stay with it - If it 'aint broke, don't fix it.

It is widely recommended that an image back-up is made of your existing system before installing 1903.
Macrium Reflect is highly praised for this task.

I wonder why Brink did not mention this one on the News section of this forum

Maybe because (as far as I can find out) MS hasn't documented this feature (unless @Brink knows better). I'm guessing that it was part of the same CU that added the 'Download and install now' option in 1809/1803.

I do know that a few members have seen it, possibly the first to report it being Geosammy here....
