Windows 10: Patch Tuesday March 2020 No updates available for my W10 1809 x64

Good Evening,


I understand that Security Updates for March Patch Tuesday should be available however when I use "Windows Update" the only Update available was the Malicious Software Removal Tool. Nothing else I understand there was a fix KB4538461


Has anyone else failed to get this.


I will be updating to 1909 in next few weeks.....when I can do without my Laptop for a few days incase anything goes wrong. However I would like my current 1809 to be secure as possible until I move to 1909.

Thanks


Paul

Windows Update - patch tuesday becomes generally patch gradually?

Once, the 2nd tuesday of the month was windows 'patch tuesday'.

But since windows 10 was released, MS made it clear that updates for that OS would be released gradually, from the 2nd tuesday onwards. The deployment of win10 used the update servers, and the moans and screams about the impact on every other update were
deafening: for that year, a typical 30 minute update for win 7 took about 3 hours, sometimes more. So after the free period elapsed, gradual patching of win 10 seemed a reasonable approach to de-congesting the update servers, since every update I have seen
seems to be a complete new release, not just 'patches'.

It seems that this gradualism approach is being applied to updates for windows 7 now. For the last few months, updates for 64bit windows 7 were available on patch tuesday, but the same updates for 32bit windows 7 were not released for at least 4 days after
that (I made a specific check on that date, no updates available, but several days later, there's 300Mb of them waiting). Thus, patch tuesday is becoming de-facto patch gradually

So the question is: is this gradual update of all OS now a distinct policy by MS? Happening several times in a row does suggest that. As one popular TV drama has it, "there's no such thing as coincidence". And knowing this one can adjust the admin cycle
on affected Pc's.
