Definitely more than four?

I just read that 1903 does not play nicely with vmware. Seems we’ve heard that before. The Microsoft response? Use Hyper-V as an alternative…..  Yeah right. Let’s abandon all the money invested our organization has spent for hardware and software with vmware. That won’t fly.

Insider Previews have been dropping like flies on the Fast Ring lately with more-than-once-a-week frequency. That is usually a sign that MS is making an effort to squash as many bugs as possible (or change the color of something, or make something a little less round) immediately before pushing a Feature Update out the door.

Be sure you get Windows 10 PRO. Home doesn’t cut it.

If you get a new Win10 computer. You need to set it up OFFLINE. When you first turn it on, be sure you are NOT connected to the Internet.
Make your choices for set up as it does the first use startup.
Then, go through the Settings app and change all the settings to your liking BEFORE you connect to the Internet. Change the menu to your liking. Everything.

Hint: get a book like Woody’s “Windows 10 for Dummies” and read about all the settings before you even turn the computer on.

Use GPEdit:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Preview Builds and Feature Updates are received > set to Enabled > After a Preview Build or Feature Update is released, defer receiving it for this many days” set no. of days.

Do you have Insider Preview builds, such as Release Preview ring, selected at Settings, Update & Security, Windows Insider Program?

… and are you signed in as an administrator?

Good point. I think you have to sign in as an administrator to defer updates on Windows 10 Pro.

You also have to sign in as administrator to set a metered connection on Windows 10 Home, which Woody said months ago he would include in his monthly blocking instructions but still doesn’t.

For Win7 or 8.1, updating by Group B methods, you can still proceed to update the February updates manually.

For Win 10, or Group A Win7 or 8.1, it’s probably very close to releasing the March updates. Letting your machine do the updates automatically may find the March updates instead of the February updates, depending on timing.

The Feb updates have been approved for DEFCON-4. They will always have that rating now. So you can install them any time.

Be sure the updates you install have 2019-02 in their description (NOT 2019-03 as those are March updates) and go ahead and install them.

You should wait until 1809 is offered to your computer. MS is rolling it out slowly to (try) to avoid conflicts. When their AI shows it’s safe to install on your machine, it will be offered through Windows Update.

If you think you just HAVE TO HAVE IT, you can try the “seeker” route and search for updates.” Or, you can use the Medis Creation Tool and install it manually
