Windows 10: Windows 10 1809 ISO - Microsoft's Software Cycle - After a month of fixing issues with...

Microsoft had a month working on fixing 1809.



https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

The 1809 ISO that is downloadable from the Website above is build 17763.107.


The original ISO that was available for a few days early October was build 17763.1.


I now present Exhibit A:




What does this tell us?


Well, it tells us that the ISO was baked about 2 weeks ago, as the release for 17763.107 in the Insiders Rings (also known as, the beta testers rings of brainwashing) was late October... from memory I had to dig for the .cab on 27th of October.


I now present again Exhibit A, this time highlighting an important point that I am trying to make.




Why is the ISO not the current build 17763.134?


Was it not tested? Obviously if 134 was released, then there have been significant fixes since 107. So, why weren't these included for the ISO release when both ISO 17763.107 and Cumulative Update 17763.134 were released at the same time?


What were the ISO crew doing from 107 to 134? Playing Minecraft? Candy Crush? Obviously they were not making the release ISO not up-to-date during the month + 2 week period. ... or.... is it up-to-date, and it's just that 134 hasn't actually been tested yet?


There is a big gap somewhere in Microsoft's Software Cycle where things just don't overlap properly.


The Windows test rings aren't rings. They are horse shoes.


Who ever is in charge, wake up. You're doing a terrible job.





As always, don't forget to run sfc /scannow, as this will fix everything. If that doesn't, you know you can always just re-install Windows....

Microsoft Confirms Windows, Office 6-Month Update Cycle

Microsoft has been steadily increasing stability, features and, the company hopes, attractiveness of its latest Windows 10 operating system. Recently, its Creator's Update has brought, among other features, a performance-boosting Game Mode, a 3D version of the popular and (respectably ancient) Paint app, as well as increased privacy control, something users clamored for. Now, the Redmond company has confirmed that it's looking towards a six month update cycle for Windows 10 (thus aligning it with Office 365 ProPlus), looking to streamline and increase predictability of its support.

Microsoft released the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in August 2016, and the Creators Update made its public debut on April 11 2017, which is already close to the six-month update cycle the company is now confirming (seven months, in this case.) Now the company has confirmed that it plans to release its next step on the Windows 10 operating system on September 2017. From then on, updates should arrive in a steady cadence, on every subsequent March and September. Each Windows 10 feature release will be serviced and supported for 18 months, as is currently the case, and the company has also added that its System Center Configuration Manager will support this new aligned update model for Office 365 ProPlus and Windows 10, "making both easier to deploy and keep up to date."

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

Here

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
