Windows 10: How to get regular updates for 1709 WITHOUT getting 1803

Windows 10 updated to 1803 a while back & completely messed up my PC!


After rolling back & getting it working again, 1803 kept trying to install. The only way to stop that was to turn off Windows Update altogether.


How can I get updates for 1709 yet keep 1803 off my PC? (It must be possible because I've seen a PC where it happens).


tnx,

:)

 

Latest win10 Update 1803 cant install?

Windows 10 1803 update issues(Solved!)

 

Upgrade to 1803, recovery to 1709. Cannot return to 1803.


When I received the upgrade to 1803, everything seemed fine for a couple of days but then I needed to scan a document and found that I could not communicate with my Epson printer/scanner. To cut a very long story short, I eventually found that turning my VPN (CyberGhost) off allowed access to the printer/scanner.
I decided to return to 1709 and that seemed to fix the problem, until the next reboot. So now I can't print or scan with the VPN active. Furthermore, Windows Update tells me my PC is up to date so I can't get back to 1803.
Neither Epson nor CyberGhost have any ideas, even though they have both been very helpful in running tests.
So here I am, asking if anyone here can suggest either, why the VPN is blocking the printer (even though the printer ip is in the VPN exceptions list) and/or why Windows Update will not restore 1803.

 

Windows update doesn't acknowledge 1803 exists as an update after rolling back to 1709 as a recovery option

Hi

After rolling back the windows version to the 1709 feature update to fix a problem (I created):

• In "update history" is says that 1803 is installed
• In "about" the version is 1709

When checking for updates, windows update does not acknowledge 1803 as an update anymore.

Any help?

Thanks!
