Windows 10: why am I still in ver.1809

Greetings
Windows 10 Pro
I received windows updates but I got stuck in 1809 (b17763.1039).
Is there anything I have to do?
I don't want to download and install later version, and would rather wait for windows to make the version change.
What am I missing?
Is it so important? the pc works fine and I have no complaints and don't miss anything.
thank you

:)

 

windows 10 update from ver.1709 to ver.1809

can we update Windows 10 ver.1709 to ver.1809 directly using "Windows 10 Update Assistant"???

 

Which motherboard!

The DFI you suggested is great too i only have the P35 version of it but get 4GHz on a Q6600 Quad Core G0 stepping.. the Blood Iron has only PCI-E ver. 1.1

 

How does one deal with -- the Win10 Ver 1803 update -- KB4023057 problem?

Dear Mr Carmack,

My sincerest thanks first of all, for your thorough and well-presented reply. I have studied your entire solution carefully, and I note that it mirrors what HP Support did over those 90 minutes by remote control of my laptop. After the Media Creation Tool,
download, etc. ( aseries of steps) there was a step with a screen that had the big words: WHAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION. Underneath this banner, one issue was listed: Intel Audio Display (KB4465877) as having stability problems with Win10 Ver 1809. At this
point, and because of this warning about KB4465877 specific to my laptop, HP Support advised me not to proceed with updating/upgrading (by forced installation) Ver. 1809, and to wait until Microsoft releases a correct Ver 1803.

It was at this point that I felt "lost", since it is unlikely Microsoft will issue a fix just for my laptop. However, based on your reply and some other websites I've read since, this Ver 1803 update seems like it is widespread -- I thought it happened
only on my HP ENVY 17 laptop and ones like it.

I am sorry to report back "bad news". I just wanted to see a clean, correct fix, as having an "unsuccessful" or "failed" update leaves me with the lasting impression that my laptop's Win10 is not in good order.

Thanks once again for all your advice, and if there's a "next step" after what I just shared with you, I'd be highly grateful if you could share it with me. Many thanks.
