Windows 10 Version 1809 Gets Another Cumulative Update

Microsoft is rolling out a new set of patches for the latest version of Windows 10, version 1809, today. The company released the Patch Tuesday for this month earlier, and it’s releasing a new set of updates for Windows 10 version 1809 today.

As Neowin reported, Microsoft actually released updates for some older versions of Windows 10 last week, and it’s not really a surprise to see Microsoft releasing multiple sets of updates for Windows 10 nowadays.

    <p>My desktop is still on 1803 and hasn't been offered 1809. I figured there must be some compatibility problem that they're working on, so I'm content to wait, but I'm starting to wonder. I'm not willing to force the upgrade and risk screwing something up.</p><p>I got an update labelled 2019-1 today, too.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#398908">In reply to Bluesman57:</a></em></blockquote><p>There are 5 machines at my place. None of them have been offered 1809 yet. I'll just wait patiently. There's no hurry.</p>

      <blockquote><em>I thank you for posting your problem. I thought I was alone. I went to Windows-Settings / Update &amp; Security. I checked for updates and was still not offered 1809 (I have been on 1803). My PC is very old so I thought I may never be offered 1809. On the same screen, I clicked "Get help". After answering a number of suggestions and questions from the AI (they were good, but I had done them all); the AI sent me to a live person. After answering a few questions for the live-person he sent me to the "windows 10 Update Assistant" and stayed online with me to ensure I was OK. I now have 1809 and am happy.</em></blockquote><p><br></p>

    <p>My HP Envy (2018) is offered the update but has failed to install it for the last two months. "Patiently" waiting for some kind of update from MS or HP. Apparently the Feedback Hub has several threads on it now. What I miss is that there aren't updates other than MS is looking into it as a status. </p>

    <p>I had to uninstall the update. After installing it none of my network cards would work. Couldn't access the internet or my local network.</p>
