Windows 20H2 Update for AMD Systems
I have several Intel based Windows Systems and they have all received the latest 20H2 Update. I also have several AMD based Windows Systems and none of them have been offered the latest 20H2 Update. I did download the latest version of Windows from the Microsoft Site this morning (11/4/2020).
Is Microsoft holding back releasing the 20H2 Update for AMD (1700X, 2700X, 3800X and 3900X) based systems?
Since MSFT keeps it a secret - what version did I get with the 11/4/2020 download?
Help appreciated.

We have no idea what MS is doing.
Just install what you downloaded.
You don`t have to wait for MS to tell you to update, do it whenever you want.

3900X here, I have the 20H2 update offered in WU.

I've gotten Version 2009/20H2 and updated to Build 19042.610 on both AMD and Intel computers [Desktops and Notebooks], not seeing any big issues yet.

Finally, on 11/10/2020 MSFT offered the 20H2 update on all four of my AMD systems.

Update
I just got the notification for 20H2 like 2 weeks ago for a 2011 era AMD Athlon Lenovo desktop . Just installed it like 3 days ago and it went fine and everything still works and I have some pretty old stuff like scanners and TV cards that still work . The scanner is actually pre Win 7 and still works . It actually seems a little faster working and apps opening faster since the update . Probably just in my head but it is working flawlessly right now . It was a lot easier than going from 1909 to 2004 which took 3 times before 2004 would load without problems. Have no idea what the issue was seeing I didnt really change anything before the last time before it loaded properly .

Now there are only full updates in the spring. The ones in the fall are mainly feature updates. That is why the fall updates like 20H2 was relatively small and didn't take very long to finish.
My 20H2 updates:
Desktop with AMD Ryzen 7 1700X (2017): 10/22/2020
Laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 2700U (2018): 10/22/2020
Desktop with AMD FX-8350 (2011): 11/12/2020

for years 2019 & 2020, yes MisterEd.
for 2021 & beyond, no - it will be the reverse next year, meaning 21H1 will be a small update in the spring and the 21H2 update will be a full big one in the fall

but back to the topic, my dad's Toshiba laptop using an AMD A6-5200 APU w/ Radeon HD 8400 hardware was offered the 20H2 feature update a few weeks ago since it was running the 2004 version but declined to install the optional 20H2 feature update
