I’ve beeen actively seeking 1809 through windows update and yet to be offered 1809 for my Thinkpad X1 yoga (2016).
Anyway to find out why I’m not being offered the latest version?
Anyone else having this issue?

<p>Yep, I set up a new Dell Optiplex last week and it wasn't offered 1809. I had to manually download the media creation tool. </p><p>It said everything was fine and went ahead and installed with no problems.</p>
<p>Yes. In a fit of "windows 7 is in its last year, maybe I should revisit Windows 10 again personally (I use it for work regularly) so that I am better prepared for when Windows 8.1 eventually dies" I installed Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 3. I am not seeing 1809. (Note – I bought my SP3 just as MS was making the transition from 8.1 to 10, so I thankfully have access to *both* recovery loads).</p>
<p>Maybe you should be grateful. If you're system was working and stable already, why risk it with this upgrade? I've kept my laptop on 1709 – because it generally works ok. Last time I tried a feature update – it trashed it.</p>

<p>It looks like 1809 should now be widely available this late March 2019 as Microsoft declared 1809 as business ready and is recently available in the SAC channel.</p><p><br></p><p>Microsoft made the official announcement on Thursday March 28 here:</p><p><a href="https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Windows-10-version-1809-designated-for-broad-deployment/ba-p/389540" target="_blank">techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/Windows-10-version-1809-designated-for-broad-deployment/ba-p/389540 </a></p><p>and has updated the Windows 10 Release Information page that now mentions 1809 being in the SAC (formerly CBB) channel.</p>
<p>and if anyone here still did not get the 1809 version even up to now, that's fine. skip that one and wait for the 1903 version to come out next month and upgrade to 1903 instead of 1809</p><p><br></p><p>perhaps Paul Thurrott should check out this article from the Computerworld web site</p><p><a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3387978/microsoft-throws-in-the-towel-on-windows-10-1809.html" target="_blank">www.computerworld.com/article/3387978/microsoft-throws-in-the-towel-on-windows-10-1809.html</a></p>

<p>So if Microsoft has this six month update schedule, and they roll out 1809, but it takes another 5 months or so to say that 1809 is "ready for broad release", then aren't they kidding themselves about the six month dates? It was released on time only to take 4-6 MORE months to claim it's ready for broad release? So was it beta code before that then? And aren't the non-corporate Home users really the beta testers for Microsoft's unreasonably aggressive timing goals?</p>
