Got v.1903? You Probably Have v.1909 Too

I've got news for you: If your Windows 10 PC is currently running v.1903 ... then it may
already have v.1909.

I'm quoting from the
Windows IT Pro Blog:

"Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909 share a common core operating system with an identical set of system files. As a result, the new features in Windows 10, version 1909 were included in the latest monthly quality update for Windows 10, version 1903 (released
October 8, 2019), but are currently in a dormant/disabled state. These new features will remain dormant until they are turned on via an “enablement package,” a small, quick-to-install “master switch” that simply activates the Windows 10, version 1909 features.

The enablement package is a great option for installing a scoped feature update like Windows 10, version 1909 as it allows you to update from version 1903 to version 1909 with a single restart, reducing update downtime and, thus, enabling you to take advantage
of new features right away. Additionally, since Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909 share a common baseline, applications and drivers that worked with version 1903 are designed to work as-is with version 1909, just like any Windows 10 quality update."

So, if you receive your updates from Windows Update, as we should, the v.1909 update installation should be faster.

I couldn't resist ... had to try it. So, after making an image backup, I ran Windows Update. Here's how it went:

3:58 PM "Getting things ready"
3:59 PM "Downloading" (14 seconds)
3:59 PM "Installing"
4:01 PM "Restarting"
4:04 PM Back at the desktop and ready to roll!

Holly *** that was fast!

P.S. I am not a 'Windows IT Pro.' Not even close. I just enjoy learning about IT.

 

Software works on v.1903 but not v.1909?

I recently purchased software called Publisher Rocket/KDPRocket that uses the Amazon API to scrape book ranking data from Amazon.com based on keyword searches.

The software runs fine on an older (6-7yo) laptop running Windows 10 v. 1903, build 18362.592. But it fails in several particular, critical ways (e.g., retrieving keywords) on a brand new (Dec 2019) desktop PC running Win 10 v. 1909, build 18363.657. The software
has otherwise installed correctly in the sense that it starts up and performs a few basic functions like fetching Amazon book categories.

I have performed the normal trouble shooting on the desktop: uninstall/re-install; disabled firewall, anti-virus, VPN; tried Safe Mode with Networking. The problem seems to be entirely contained in the difference(s) between Win 10 updates v. 1903 and
1909. Since the desktop was built after the Nov 2019 update, I can't restore to a point that might test the different versions.

Does anyone know what particulars between the releases might account for the failure, or where I can take my troubleshooting? I'm not technical enough to tease out those differences from changelogs or the release notes I've been able to find online.

 

Windows 10 1903 1909 repeated failure to update

Well would't you know it. I did everything, every step, all the suggestions, months of failed downloads and was going to wipe everything tomorrow and start again, but remembered I hadn't tried your suggestion of updating to 1809 before 1903/09, and blow
me down, but it's updated to 1809 with ease!

I have yet to dare to try and get it to update to 1909 but it's the 1st progress in months, so thanks.
