Windows 10: Win 10 Update showing forced update from1803 to 1809

I ust got a notice that my computer want to restart to upgrade to 1809 because 1803 is hitting end of support. I tried upgrading to 1809 when it came out and it completely crashed my system. Fortunately, I had created a bootable clone of the system drive (no data on it) and I was able to easily move back to 1803. I am in the middle of setting up a fresh 1903 on another SSD, but it will take a while and I have to work righ now. This is my production computer and I cannot do this upgrade now! How do I kill it?


I found a setting that allowed me to stop all updates until 12-18-2019, so I better have 1903 done by then, but what about security updates in the meantime, and I don't know if I can even shut the computer down without risking a upgade to 1809.

Win 10 1607 update

Installed the update manually at the the moment everything is bueno.
It seems that Microsoft has a big problem in there update department windows 7 update has problems win 8 update has problems. Windows 10 update is so-so.

 

Win 10 Anniversary Update does not show in Windows Update

So I tried to update my HTPC, but I can't get the Anniversary Update to show up. I downloaded the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor, and it said that my PC was ready for the update, but when I tried to do it it says I don't have enough hard drive space (it has a 32GB SSD with around 8GB free). Why on earth do I need 20GB free in order to install an update? Surely it's just like a service pack.

 

Update Windows 10 to 1809 manually

It's been a while after Microsoft released an update to fix issues in the initial Windows 10 1809 update. But the page where we can download the updates as standalone packages still has a hole instead of download link to the 1809.17763.1 version package:





Windows 10 Update Assistant page is useless as well, since it offers to download April 2018 Update, lol.

So, I can't update my 1803.17134.376 to 1809 even after more than a month since it's initially was released.

(Of course, "drastically improved" Windows Update doesn't suggest the 1809 update, too. Actually, it has been never working on this Win 10 copy, so I used to download all the updates manually via the first link in this post.)

Has anybody figured out a way of how to manually update from 1803 to 1809?

Without hardcore stuff, please, like making bootable media which potentially would have a great chance of destroying the currently installed Win 10 copy

UPDATE: I was completely confused by that "Microsoft recommends" wording near the 1809 update on that page and some top articles in Google saying that it was released and ready for production with that quick patch. So, this question is from this confusion.

Thanks to comments below and @music2myear answer, it's clear now that 1809 is still not released. So, there is no point in update attempts (at least for me) at the moment.
