Wonder how many of the WIN7 machines are ATMs?

Woody said: “If you’re running Win10 1803 or 1809 and want to move to version 1903, choose Semi-Annual Channel and 180 days feature update deferral. You’ll end up with a version of Win10 Pro that has a “Download and install now” offer to upgrade to 1909.”

I think he meant: “You’ll end up with a version of Win10 Pro that has a “Download and install now” offer to upgrade to 1903.”

I have been running Defender and MBAM Premium  on two machines for over 1 1/2 years. Defender is registered in Windows Security Center (obviously not MBAM). Everyone seems happy.  Malwarebytes “claims” that MBAM 4 is all ones needs.  Well it was released a month or so ago and I am waiting for the reviews before I turn off Defender.   I have exceptions on both products to prevent inference with the other.

win3.1 in I think 1991 Then win3.11 windows for workgroups.  An upgrade to DOS was such big deal then!

I just updated to 1903 and the problem is fixed. The deferral settings are no longer disappearing .

I am at 1809 pro WIN10.  I set feature deferral to 0 days and hid 1909 via wushowhide.  Then set it to 60 days and hid 1903.  Finally set feature deferral back to 365 days.  When I am ready, I will set feature deferral to either 0 and unhide 1909 and install it or 60 days to unhide 1903 and install this one.

One question for people whose machines are at pre-1903.  Update to 1903 or go directly to 1909  (of course after Woody gives the OK)?  The difference between the two doesn’t seem very large.

“should” – has anyone confirmed it?

Does the latest update to 1903 as well as 1909 have the fix for “disappearing deferral dialog” bug?

Every try wushowhide?

Wondering whether if the update for 1903 to 1909 is the cumulative update for 1903? That is, there is no other monthly update in November for 1903 but this one?

Thus are you saying that 1903 and 1909 will continue to exist and get updates after 1909 is released?

Will 1909 be a feature update or be a cumulative update to 1903?   Another way of looking at it, will 1903 and 1909 exist on separate tracks?

I have the same question. Just wait for 1909 or update? There seems to be some issues, but they don’t seem to effect everyone.
