It’s official: Win10 ‘seekers’ will get the ill-fated version 1809. You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.

FWIW I've had Windows 10 1809 installed on my studio PC's since it first came out, and on my laptop for the past month.

I've not had any issues so far.

Had it on my desktop and laptop for months with no problems at all. Just saying.

Ditto! Although as usual WIN10 did reset some of my preferences. Irritatingly sneaky at times!

My understanding is that it only happens when you "check for updates" so unless you're an early adopter (I can't remember what the term is) you won't get it if you just wait for Microsoft to do the general availability push...

They're pushing it now. It installed on my PC this week. So far, no obvious problems except it turned back on some settings I had disabled.

On the other hand, I just accepted a Windows update, and now I'm still on 1803. I guess my time will come.

If you want to force the update, you can download the Windows 10 Update Assistant and run this to kick off the 1809 update:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 (click on the Update Now button to download )

I did this on my laptop just over a month ago, as it wasn't appearing during regular manual update checks.
