Just clicked check for updates on Win 10 1903 and got a new May Cum Update 4505057. It just installed once this time. Interesting....

 

Yeah, Win10 1809 just received - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4505056/windows-10-update-kb4505056

 

May 2019 updates for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 don't play nice with McAfee or Sophos software, again

Thanks, wondered what this was about.

 

Same here... OS build 17763.504

 

This is not an auto update. Have no need for it.

Especially because of this glitch:

 

They had the same warning for - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4494441/windows-10-update-kb4494441

 

You didn't have any choice with that one in light of the security vulnerabilities it patched.

My saying in regards to Win Updates these days is "The more you play with fire, the greater your risk of getting burned."

 

Fair call.

 

Thanks @mood. Out of curiosity I checked via Windows Update on my Win 7, and indeed I got Cumulative update for Internet Explorer: May 18, 2019 (KB4505050) offered (as optional).
For now I pass: I'm not in the UK. Although I wonder whether this only effects gov.uk sites .....

 

Windows 10 Update Bricks PCs, Microsoft Offers Workarounds

https://threatpost.com/windows-10-update-bricks-pcs/

 

Just updated 1809 to build 17763.529...

 

Updated my main PC to 1903 (18362.116) without any obvious issues.

Very curious what will happen with the laptop that did not take 1809. Hope to try this in the weekend...

 

Imaging my machines now before attempting 1903 upgrade.

 

1903 isn't offered to me on this machine yet. I'm not keen to force it so I will wait to see how the early adopters get on.

 

I'm going to upgrade my main computer today. I've been running 1903 on a few computers and I've had no issues.

Well, I'll see if is offered via Windows Update. If it isn't, I'll probably wait till it is, rather than manually upgrading.

 

I've been using it all day here since I did a clean install earlier today, and no real problems at all yet. In fact, it even seems to have calmed down a lot and doesn't do much of the cpu and disk thrashing that I've seen 10 do with my data on earlier versions. I'm on an SSD here too, and that helps. But so far I'm impressed...

Someone mentioned Chromium based Edge, but that's not yet in 1903... it's still in development...

 

Nice to know. Thanks.

Ah, I was wondering about that.

 

1903 has not been offered to me yet. I am ok with waiting.

 

I have many computers so I always create an ISO. Win10 only needs to be downloaded once. Not once for each computer.

 

Same here.

 

No issues so far with 1903. Now let see after tweaking it

 

Just upgraded to 1903, and it looks okay so far...
I've checked everything, and all programs work as advertised, the upgrade is without issues.

 

I upgraded to 1903 last night, all appears to be working well. Hopefully, I like this version enough, so I dont go back to 1803 (my favorite and most stable W 10 version as of yet). Certainly, it feels a lot better than the first install I did of 1809 in Oct/18 or the second install in April 2019. For those two installs, I wasn't willing to wait and see for a few days for things to settle down with the system and went back quickly to 1803. In about 5 hours, after doing the things I regularly do while using the computer, I ll make the decision to either wait/keep this version or go back to 1803.
