Older Versions of Windows 10 Get Minor Updates

Earlier this month, Microsoft released a bunch of cumulative updates for almost all the supported versions of Windows 10, including the latest Windows 10 May 2019 Update. This week, though, Microsoft is releasing further updates for some older versions of the operating system.

Microsoft started rolling out new updates for Windows 10 version 1809, version 1803, version 1709, and version 1703 last night. The new updates for the OS include the exact same fix, and nothing else. The updates are very minor. Here’s the changelog:

  • Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from connecting to some Storage Area Network (SAN) devices using Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) after installing KB4497934. You may also receive an error in the System log section of Event Viewer with Event ID 43 from iScsiPrt and a description of “Target failed to respond in time for a login request.”

As usual, almost all of these versions of Windows 10 have a couple of known issues. So you should probably checkout the full changelog for them here: version 1809, version 1803, version 1709, and version 1703. Do note that some of the older versions aren’t getting updates for Home and Pro users as they are no longer receiving official servicing from Microsoft.

    <p>After getting the update, my computers now show the following message when I go to "Update and Security" in Settings.</p><p class="ql-indent-1"><em><img src="">Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903</em></p><p class="ql-indent-1"><em>The Windows 10 May 2019 Update is on its way. We're offering this update to compatible devices, but your device isn't quite ready for it. Once your device is ready, you'll see the update available on this page. There's nothing you need to do at this time.</em></p><p>Note that all of these machines have external hard drives and/or SD cards.</p><p>When I tried to update one of them manually, I received an error that the device was unable to be upgraded because of the external drive. Clearly, despite Microsoft's claim to the contrary, they have not resolved that installation problem.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#438090">In reply to AnOldAmigaUser:</a></em></blockquote><p><br></p><p>the issue with external HDs and SD cards is "partially" fixed but not 100% completely as my PCs with 1903 (build 18362.175 or higher) do not have this problem but some others do. it seems the problem happens in newer PCs but not mine</p>
