• Looks like Win10 version 1903 will get a fix for the Windows Update “disappearing deferral dialog” bug

    I’ve seen it now on two systems, with my very own eyes.

    One of Win10 1903 Pro’s most obnoxious bugs will probably get fixed next week.

    If you’re concerned about updating Win10 version 1903, you probably know that there’s a bug in the Windows Update advanced options setting, where changing either the feature update or quality update deferral setting caused that entire piece of the dialog to disappear. The settings were still there, and they still had an effect on when your machine was updated. But you couldn’t see the settings, short of digging into Group Policy or the Registry.

    Looks like the bug’s been fixed in the “optional, non-security” second October cumulative update for Win10 1903 — which means it’s likely to appear on Patch Tuesday next week.

    Best I can tell, Microsoft has never acknowledged the bug, and they certainly haven’t announced that it’s been fixed.

    I’m starting to warm up to Win10 1903.
