Windows 10 Version 1903 Available for All Users with a Manual Check for Updates 

 

Microsoft has just made Windows 10 May 2019 Update, or version 1903, available for all users who manually check for updates on Windows Update.

Mike Ybarra, Corporate Vice President of Xbox Program management at Microsoft, announced on Twitter that Windows 10 version 1903 can be downloaded by all seekers, which are those users who check for updates manually in the Settings app.

The rollout of Windows 10 May 2019 Update started last month in waves, but Microsoft embraced a more cautious approach in order to reduce the likelihood of issues hitting a substantial number of devices.

While only a small subset of devices received the May update as an automatic rollout served on Windows Update, Microsoft also allowed only a limited number of seekers to download the update.

“We will begin availability for those users on a currently supported version of Windows 10 who seek to update via “Download and install now” (limited to devices with no known compatibility issues). We will also begin the phased rollout using our ML model to intelligently target those devices running Windows 10, version 1803 or prior versions that our data and feedback predict will have the best update experience,” Microsoft said in April when announcing the May update.

Everyone on Windows 10 can now download the May 2019 Update with a manual check for updates in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates.Windows 10 19H2 not deadIn other Windows news, Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Program Manager at Microsoft on the Windows Insider Program Team, responded to recent concerns regarding Windows 10 19H2, explaining there’s still enough time to test the release due to be finalized in September.

“There will be plenty of time to test 19H2. We get a lot of value out of the Slow ring. You shouldn't worry - this will all play out and we'll communicate the details once we've locked on them. Important not to put artificial timelines on these things,” he said.

Rumor has it that Windows 10 19H2 won’t bring any major new features, but only a bunch of improvements, which means this release won’t be necessarily a new feature update and land more as a service pack.

Same here. Actually even updated my drivers so guess it's question of "waiting". 1809 apparently runs flawless.

" 1809 apparently runs flawless. "..........yeah , it does indeed !

So , no hurry needed.............

or you can try upgrading via the Media Creation Tool,  once you accept the license terms from Microsoft, there is an option to "upgrade this PC now".

 

 

 

 

Once the download is complete, the setup will ask you whether you want to download the latest security updates and install them along with the feature update.

You can download the updates now or leave it for later as Windows will automatically download them after installation. When asked, please select Keep personal files and apps.
This makes sure that your files and applications remain safe.

Tried to update Windows 10 from 1809 to 1903 4 times (3x through Windows Update and once through Media Creation Tool). It failed !! 😫😵

Why Windows can't make things simple and easy like macOS ? 😠🤬
