Windows 10: Cannot upgrade back to 1903 after a 1809 rollback

I upgraded to Windows 1903 and it caused an error with Trend Micro & PDQ Deploy so I used the rollback feature to take me back to 1809. Now I cannot go back to 1903. If I search for Windows Updates it says I'm all up to date. It also says that I already have 1903 installed but my version is clearly 1809 when I type 'winver'.


How do I fix this, I want to upgrade without fresh installing Windows.

How to rollback from 1809 to 1803.

Hi Wickiwiz,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To get clarity of this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. What is the make and model of your system?
   
2. When was the system upgraded to1809?
   

You would be able to revert back to previous windows within the first ten days after the upgrade installed, you can Downgrade Windows 10 1809 to 1803 using the recovery options. However, if you performed clean installation
you would not be able to rollback to earlier build version of windows 10.

Follow the below steps, if you have upgrade your Windows 10 within 10 days.

1. Open Windows Settings using
   Windows + I keyboard.
   
2. Click on Update & Security then
   Recovery on the left.
   
3. Now click on Get started under ‘Go back to the previous version of Windows 10.
   
4. This will prompt why you are going back to the previous build, With Options
   

• My apps or devices don’t work on this build
• Earlier builds seemed easier to use
• Earlier builds seemed faster
• Earlier builds seemed more reliable
• For another reason

5. Select any preferred answer or Select for another Reason (also there is option to tell Microsoft more about your reasons if you wish) and click
Next to continue.

6. When you click on next Windows 10 will prompt you the chance to check for updates in case that a new update is available to fix the current issue you’re having.

7. If you’ve decided to roll back, click
No, thanks to continuing the rollback processed.

8. On Next Screen Read What you need to know carefully.

9. This will instruct you after going back you need to
reinstall some apps, programs.

10. Also, lose any changes you have made after upgrade to windows 10 October 2018 update.

11. After reading this carefully click next to proceed one more step to Uninstall Windows 10 version 1809.

12. Now Windows 10 will remind you that you need to know the password of the user account in the previously installed operating system ( windows 10 1803).

13. Click Go back to earlier build to begin the windows 1809 rollback process.

14. And the setup will take over and roll back your PC to the previous version of Windows 10 version 1809.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
