Delay the Windows 10 Spring 2019 Update? - Comments Page 2

Bob, I also have 1803, and security and updates continually say that they have checked for updates, and I am up to date.
I am in the exact same situation as D.V.N. Sarma, except that I got my update on 3/12.
My winver version plainly says I have 1803; Build 17134.648.

I have Windows 10 Home, & it updated on Feb 11 to Version 1809 & deleted all downloads, including my purchased software folder. I am so sick of Windoze.
I had to call Microsoft because it messed up so many things, what a nightmare, & still could not get back my downloads.

I am at 1809 Win10 Pro.
In Advanced options I don't see the three options you listed. I see:
1. Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows.
2. Automatically download updates even over metered data connections.
3. Show a notification when your PC requires a restart to finish updating.

I don't see any way to delay updates.
I have all three of the above options turned off.

Thanks for the suggestion,

I don't see where you tell the Win 10 Home users to activate their Metered option. I do this for all computers I touch so they can decide when to do the semi-yearly updates and not have a catastrophic loss of so many files like what happened to so many on the last update.

OK, I now have 1809 Build 17763.379.

I went to MS and used their Update Assistant to update to the October (yes, October) 2018 version.

Morning Star, re your Epson printer/scanner. Have a look at VueScan. I use it with my HP5p scanner (Win 95 vintage) and my Nikon LS1000 film scanner (also Win 95 vintage) - VueScan supports both (and about 1700 others) with Win 10

Microsoft upgraded my old laptop to 1809 a few days ago. Everything went smooth. I guess I will have to wait a long while for 1903 since my system is old.

Felicitations for the day to the author.

you need to log on as administrator account to see the 3 options

It took Microsoft until 1 March 2019 to install the 1809 update on my Windows 10 Home desktop computer, it was installed on my Windows 10 Home notebook computer on 1 Feb 2019 It has not yet installed on my Wife's Windows 10 Home desktop computer. I understand that they cannot do all the installations at once but it seems like a recipe for failure if they cannot get all of the installed base updated before the next update cycle begins.

Thank you for telling me this. I have a piece of software in my computer that will shut off updates any time I want and I can turn it back on just as well.

I am going to wait on this update, I am not going to go through this mess again with Microsoft and calling them on the phone was of little use, they were little to no help. Be sure you all have back backups the day before you update just in case. I will wait two weeks and see what the results are and who is or is not having problems and what kinds of problems. If there are major problems I will leave windows update turned off till it is fixed properly.

I am a computer tech and I have never seen anyone so sloppy and reckless as Microsoft and it is as if they could care less, well this time I got them, I am turning off their auto updates! The software I use is "stop windows updates 10" and it is easy to off auto updates as it is to turn it back on.

Just to inform you, I make two backups each month and always a backup before any new windows updates as you just never know what could happen. Always have a recent backup ad your playing with fire if you do not, they have saved me several times. so folks, please use wisdom, make a backup.

Win 10, Version 1903 - I wish I had listened longer and not downloaded it. About 2 weeks ago I downloaded Version 1903 because I kept getting messages that Version 1803 would no longer be updated after August.

What a mess it created! Files on my desktop were deleted. My desktop was completely changed from my settings. All my Documents files and others I had created were moved to a TEMP file under Users>Owner. It took some time to put things back the way I wanted, but every time I shut down the computer and rebooted it would revert to the same mess. It also removed my browser (Google Chrome) and deleted contacts and bookmarks.

Windows is a disaster! I finally used a system repair disk to start up and it did keep all my own settings. BUT it says that the updated Ver 1903 is still there and I cannot delete it. My option now is to just close the cover and let the computer "sleep" and not shut it down.
