Microsoft: Windows 10 1909 rollout has just entered its next phase

▤ Summary

The next phase of the Windows 10 1909 push comes just over two months after Microsoft started to roll out this update, which is more like a service pack than the companys historical twice-yearly major feature updates for Windows 10. "We are starting the next phase in our controlled approach to automatically initiate a feature update for an increased number of devices running the October 2018 Update (Windows 10, version 1809) Home and Pro editions, keeping those devices supported and receiving the monthly updates that are critical to device security and ecosystem health," Microsoft says. " Windows 10 1809 was a disaster release for users, prompting many to stick with version 1803, or the April 2018 Update. Microsoft started bumping Windows 10 1803 Home and Pro users up to version 1903 in July last year and continued automatically updating 1803 systems through to November, 2019, when support ended. The new lighter update approach – which also meant version 1909 was the same as 1903 with a subsequent enablement package – didnt extend to PCs on Windows 10 1809 and earlier.
