Windows 10: How to get Windows 10 1809, WITHOUT being a "Seeker" (and getting beta/untested updates )

Given the 'scandal' where people who click "Check for updates" in Windows Update allegedly (MS admits it, so it's more than alleged) are labeled as "seekers" who are given less carefully tested updates, is there a way to trigger my computer getting 1809 (it's at 1803), without clicking Check For Updates or otherwise causing myself to be labeled a seeker?


Thanks in advance

AMD Releases Crimson ReLive Beta Driver for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

AMD today have released the latest (unnumbered) Beta version of their Radeon Crimson ReLive driver suite for Radeon graphics, which brings with it "Beta level support for the latest version of Microsoft's Windows 10 Operating System". Naturally, AMD says it should be considered "as is", which is always refreshing to see in a driver release. This update should improve users' experience when dealing with the Fall Creators Update's extended Mixed Reality features, so if you have one of those headsets ready to go and to power 343 Industries' "Halo Recruit" Experience please do and report back to this news editor. There's a list of known issues under MR and the Fall Creators Update, though, so be sure to check that list after the break. Follow the link below for AMD's driver download page.
