Windows 10: Upgrade to 1803, recovery to 1709. Cannot return to 1803.

When I received the upgrade to 1803, every thing 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 hear I am, asking if anyone hear 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 10 1803 upgrade

Hi bthomas24 the Lenovo website has not yet released the list of their devices that are compatible with 1803.

Your device was listed as compatible with 1709, so I assume there will be no compatibility issues with 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!
