The AchieVer Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Who Plans to Install Windows 10 May 2019 Update on Day 1? May is already here, so we’re now only a few weeks away from the moment Microsoft pushes the go-ahead for another Windows 10 feature update for production devices across the world. Called Windows 10 May 2019 Update, and often referred to as version 1903 and 19H1, the upcoming release will bring a plethora of new features, including a brand-new light theme, Windows Sandbox, and so much more. But in addition to new features and improvements, it also brings new concerns for users who are afraid that their devices could be broken down by this update. And these concerns happen for a reason. Back in October, Microsoft rolled out Windows 10 version 1809 with much fanfare after the company decided to skip the Release Preview ring of the Windows Insider program because it thought the update was already super-reliable. As everyone, including Microsoft itself, found out the hard way shortly after that, it wasn’t, and Windows 10 October 2018 Update ended up being pulled completely. A number of users lost their files during the upgrade due to a bug which apparently was actually reported while this Windows 10 release was still in testing stage. The October 2018 Update was re-released in November, and while this critical bug was fixed, others were still there. This eventually became the buggiest Windows 10 feature update in a long time, and this made many users delay the upgrade altogether. In fact, with less than 30 percent share, the October update is nearly a flop, as a significant number of users will skip it and move directly to the May update. Microsoft promises to deliver better performance, not only during the update process, but also after that, as the company is now hard at work on ironing out the latest bugs. Microsoft embraced a completely different approach for the May update versus its predecessor. While the October update skipped the Release Preview ring entirely, the upcoming feature update is supposed to spend more than a full month in this ring, all with the purpose of finding and fixing even the smallest issue. At the same time, Microsoft says it learned from its past mistakes and promises it’ll embrace an even more cautious approach. In other words, it’ll stick with a slower pace this time, so even if bugs are discovered, the likelihood of hitting a significant number of devices is very small. “We are also evolving our intelligent rollout ML model to better differentiate devices that will have a good update experience,” Mike Fortin, Corporate Vice President, Windows, explained last month. “We have added new label criteria so we can train the model on a broader set of issues, such as display or audio issues after update. In addition, we have implemented an ensemble approach that enables the model to predict the individual label criteria (e.g., rollback, operating system crash, application issues, etc.) related to the update experience as well as the full collection of criteria to improve our ability to accurately predict and troubleshoot issues.” Certainly, this sounds pretty good on paper, but everything seemed to be only milk and honey in the case of the previous updates too. So while Microsoft hopes it can regain our trust with such statements, I think it’s more important for the company to actually deliver on its promises and guarantee a flawless rollout for the May update for as many users as possible. Needless to say, the number of users rushing to install the May update is likely to be smaller than in the case of the October update. Are you going to be one of the users installing the update on day 1? If not, what’s the reason for holding back from deploying the May update?

So, ourselves should be learned from past Microsoft miskates. In my opinion, the same rock can not hit me twice.

The AchieVer Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Every machine is different, so it’s not necessary that everyone would face issues. For those who don’t have issues, enjoy the ride and for the rest , kindly wait till the tide is over. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to call that a "final" build and I personally recommend people wait. Remember that the Oct 2019 RTM was pulled due to user files being deleted & a new RTM had to be released.

Remember that the Oct 2019 RTM was pulled due to user files being deleted & a new RTM had to be released. I installed build 18362.30 to a vhd and booted natively. Its still buggy as hell. I've never had a problem with any previous windows version but even the install process was glitchy which was a first experience for me. Think i'll test the "release" in a vhd native boot and use for a few days possibly a week before deploying as main OS. VHD native boot is such a great option to fully test all drivers and software without messing up main OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbleck Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I struggle to call "nsane member" anyone who doesn't try or use the latest software as it should be... We do some "nsane" stuff and then we ask or search nsane... it's that easy. fear is not "nsane" like 1 hour ago, spudboy said: I personally recommend people wait.

C.G.B. Spender Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Already installed 1903 (from en_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_1903_x64_dvd_b980e68c.iso) on 2 physical machines and 1 tablet without issues. The only system that didn't finish the update successfully was a VM, though the hypervisor received an update few days ago and I haven't had time to retry yet. If you keep proper backups there's nothing to be afraid of just give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhjohns Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I always use the build with the highest number for my daily drive, so in my case it is 18890. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp68terr Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Won't. Moved to linux and no plan to go back to m$ os. Even if some installed the latest version without issue, too many issues are involving what should be a layer that the user should not have to care about in order to focus on apps.

shorty6100 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I'm on the slow ring with no issues. I'll wait until later in the month before I do a clean install. Maybe more bugs will be discovered at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xateeq Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I have already installed 1903 version of windows 3 days back and no problems so far. Everything seems smooth and KMS worked like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycat19 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I am on the Never Ring, that's the ring of people waiting for Microsoft to quit screwing with the OS and who are satisfied with their current Windows 7 and 8.1 installs. We don't have to worry about Microsoft bricking our systems, deleting our data, or changing our tweaks/settings. In other words, we are not going to be Microsoft Beta Testers.

breachinbleach Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 So 18890 is latest? I do search but that gives different results.Thks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 My test machines have already installed 1903 and so far, no issues have been encountered. But if I were to deploy it in my everyday, production PCs, I would wait first for the next cumulative update for 1903 before rolling it out.
