Windows 10: Update to 1809 has been good!

Hi there!

For the past couple of months or so, my laptop has been slow. I mean, everything was slow to start up, programs were slow to open. I even tinkered with components of some security software (HitmanPro Alert), trying to troubleshoot to see if there were any conflicts causing the issues. Anything that did seem to help was short lived. There wasn't any malware involved, so we just tolerated the behavior.

Well, this past weekend, the laptop updated itself to 1809. And I have to say, it's been a breath of fresh air. It's actually pleasant to use the laptop again.

Maybe the update cleaned things up, I don't know. Whatever happened, I am pleased with it.

:)

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Is my 1809 iso any good?

Hi TS,

The ISO should be fine. (If you’re upgrading your PC from an older build, I’d back up your data just to be on the safe side. I suggest this with any upgrade...)

Once installed, I’d check for updates to get any and all updates available for 1809.

You should be good to go!

Update Windows 10 to 1809 manually

It's been a while after Microsoft released an update to fix issues in the initial Windows 10 1809 update. But the page where we can download the updates as standalone packages still has a hole instead of download link to the 1809.17763.1 version package:





Windows 10 Update Assistant page is useless as well, since it offers to download April 2018 Update, lol.

So, I can't update my 1803.17134.376 to 1809 even after more than a month since it's initially was released.

(Of course, "drastically improved" Windows Update doesn't suggest the 1809 update, too. Actually, it has been never working on this Win 10 copy, so I used to download all the updates manually via the first link in this post.)

Has anybody figured out a way of how to manually update from 1803 to 1809?

Without hardcore stuff, please, like making bootable media which potentially would have a great chance of destroying the currently installed Win 10 copy

UPDATE: I was completely confused by that "Microsoft recommends" wording near the 1809 update on that page and some top articles in Google saying that it was released and ready for production with that quick patch. So, this question is from this confusion.

Thanks to comments below and @music2myear answer, it's clear now that 1809 is still not released. So, there is no point in update attempts (at least for me) at the moment.
