Windows 10: Feature Update 1903: "Download and install now" option question

Hello:

I'm currently on: Windows 10 Version 1809. Build 17763.529

Clicked on Windows Update in Settings yesterday. Saw Feature Update Version 1903. Option to "Download and install now"

I see there are many issues outstanding in 1903 and that Microsoft is working on them. I gather they'll be patching that feature update over the next few months?

I do not see option to pause WU in my settings. Possibly because of the earlier build I'm now on.

Questions:

1) If I defer "Download and install now" for a considerable time, and later opt to download and install when I think most major bugs are dealt with, would I then be downloading the very same Feature Update--with all its current bugs-which I was offered yesterday? Or would it be the then current--and hopefully patched-- feature update version?

My plan is to keep postponing installation of this Feature Update version 1903 until many of the bugs MS is working on are fixed..

2) How long can I continue postponing 1903 this way?

I have an old Intel HD Graphics card from 2012. I doubt driver updates are available for it. Since some of the bugs involve Intel HD graphics card, I'd like to postpone this until those bugs --and others--are sorted out

Thanks:

Windows 10 1809 (OS Build 17763.529)

Question About Windows 10's New "Download And Install Now" Windows Update Option?

Guys,

I understand that in Windows 10, build 1903, a new feature called "Download and Install Now" will be offered in the Windows Update query for new version builds when they are available for your system. Users will always have the option to manually install
feature updates until the current Windows 10 build on your computer is about to expire, At that time, the new feature build will be installed automatically.

What this means is that only security and stability updates will have full automatic options. The manual install of feature updates will be an Action Center notification that an update is waiting, But the user will have the option to wait until the old
build is just about to expire before the new Windows feature updates are installed on their own. (Typical support for Windows 10 feature builds is 18 months.) All Windows 10 users will also have the option to pause other updates, (security and stability
patches) in seven-day cycles for up to thirty-five days. (Five times each time.) This helps the user make sure that there aren't any last minute hiccups with updates.

I read that the "Download and Install Now" is coming for build 1803 and build 1809. Is this true? Or does the "Download and Install" new manual Windows Feature Update Build not begin until build 1903 is on the system?
