Seeking the wisdom of the group:
First, yes I am one of those who normally clicks ‘check for updates’ within 24 hours of updates being offered. That being said …
I am currently on version 1909 18363.959 (64-bit).
Yesterday, Microsoft released their preview/optional update for 1909 which would bring the version up to 18363.997.
According to Microsoft, the update should be available by checking for updates > “Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. In the Optional updates available area, you’ll find the link to download and install the update.” (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4559004)
However, when going to Windows Updates, clicking on ‘Check for Updates’ (which I’ve done several times last night at this morning, including a fast shut down and full restart between attempts), what I see is that I am up-to-date and that the 2004 feature update is (still) incoming.
Is the feature update incoming notification causing the ‘optional updates’ section to not display? Is anyone else seeing this?
I know I can download the update manually, but prefer not to do that.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!
P.S. There was also a .NET preview that was released yesterday. That update was pulled down and installed immediately after hitting ‘check for updates’ last evening. I do not recall seeing an ‘optional updates’ section at that time, but I must allow for the possibility it was there before the required reboot for the .NET update, and then disappeared. So, I don’t think WU is broken, per se …
