Windows 10: Feature Update To 1903 - "Download and install now" option missing

I'm sure it was there yesterday, but today it isn't. Btw, ignore flight mode in the taskbar - wifi is activated and signal is strong. Windows 10 1809 running on Acer Iconia w4 32GB.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

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

1809 got 1903's 'download and install now' feature in the latest cumulative update, but not the ability to pause updates in Home. That is only available starting in 1903.

If/when you click 'download and install now' you will get 1903 with the latest cumulative update installed. So yes, you wlil get the latest current version of 1903.

For (almost) as long as you want. The Feature Update will finally install automatically when your current version is at or near the end of its supported life. That's May 12, 2020 for 1809. Though by then it may be 1909 (or even 2003) that's being offered.

Windows Feature Update 1903

Hi Sara209

Greetings! I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. The steps which you have undertaken to block updates won't work for any feature update. Feature updates need to be blocked temporarily by using different steps.

But, I will suggest that you should not try to stop 1903 feature update. Let it happen.

Do let me know if you have any more question or require further help.

 

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:
