1903. No optional update, but I have Quality Updates differed to 14 days.
I order to get optional updates quality updates should = 0.1 user thanked author for this post.

That’s a good point. I have Quality Updates deferred for 15 days.

AskWoody PlusFebruary 9, 2020 at 12:04 pm #2137448On my 2 1903 pro machines, none of them is showing the KB 4532695
On my 1 1909 home machine, it is showing the KB 4532695
Also, 1909 home machine is updated to january patches, but on both 1903 pro machines windows update has not updated them to january (december updates was the last installed). Updates are always installed one month after, using the methodology of not allow updates until the last part of the month.

AskWoody PlusFebruary 9, 2020 at 3:35 pm #2137507Just fired up a fresh 1903 VM. Feature updates 365 and Quality updates deferral to 0 and updated. Not offered. Dropped feature updates to 0 and was offered update to 1909 but not 4532695. Playing with the feature update deferral dates after that starts installing 1909.

Figured was because the feature update was present as optional that other one was not showing

Where do you see 190318-1202? Is it possible you’re still in one of the beta testing Rings?

This inaccuracy is why I use a custom field in BgInfo to display the correct version/build/release info.

AskWoody PlusFebruary 9, 2020 at 8:49 pm #2137599Don’t see that, and do not even see optional, non-security. Maybe because i have in update options “Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows” Not selected. It’s a real head trip this updating process we have. Win 7 made it so much clearer.

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 9, 2020 at 11:53 pm #2137644Woody, I have two Win 10 Home x64 systems. Both are Version 1903, OS Build 18362.592. And both systems have the latest January Cumulative Update installed (KB4528760).
One system shows “Feature update to Windows 10 Version 1909” as an optional update, with no other updates available.
However, the other 1903 system does not show the 1909 Feature update. Instead, that 2nd system shows KB4532695 as the only available optional update.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the Windows Update screen. Let me know if you have questions or need additional details.

AskWoody PlusFebruary 10, 2020 at 12:18 am #2137657Does your first system, the one showing “Feature update to Windows 10 Version 1909”
have KB4534132 (.NET patch) installed?
I installed this patch today and now have 1909 Feature update listed under the Optional Updates, yesterday it showed KB4532695 after Jan’s CU KB4528760 was installed along with KB4532938 (.NET patch), so what gives??

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 10, 2020 at 12:38 am #2137680Matador: Both 1903 systems have KB4534132 installed. As far as recently installed Windows updates to these two systems, they are pretty much the same. The only difference (as far as installed updates) is that the 1st system has KB4532938, while the 2nd system does not have it. (The 2nd system was never offered that update.)
Perhaps KB4532938 is the common thread here. Maybe 1903 systems with KB4532938 get offered the Feature Update to 1909? Whereas those without KB4532938 get offered the Cumulative Update KB4532695 instead?
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

After installing updates
—
Another test
installed KB4530684 (18362.535), and hiddden KB4528760 (18362.592)
—
conclusion:
– KB4532695 (18362.628) will be offered in two cases:
1) KB4528760 is not installed + hidden
2) KB4528760 is installed + 1909 Feature Update is not available (for whatever reason, e.g. not compatible, hardware blocked, appraiser data not sufficient… etc)
– KB4532695 will be available behind the scenes even with fresh 1903 installation, but you can only show it using powershell or WuMgr

AskWoody_MVPFebruary 10, 2020 at 6:30 am #2137779Is it likely this patching information will be included in Microsoft documentation?
– Patches appear on random dates.
– Patches are issued again and again.
– Patches appear in the Windows Update Catalog, but not in the Windows Update Queue.
– Patch documentation is incomplete.
– Patches require “i” before “e” installation in order to install correctly.
– Average person is unaware that patches have been issued with the same number.
– Servicing Stack Updates must be treated differently.On permanent hiatus {with backup and coffee}

It came pre-installed with Win 10 version 1903. It seems highly unlikely that this system would be incompatible or have its hardware blocked. How is it possible that the 1909 Feature Update would not be made available or be offered for this system?

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 14, 2020 at 7:31 pm #2140857If you have any Pause or Feature deferral set, you may not see the 1909 Feature update.
Have you installed the latest .NET update being offered through WU? There has been some indication that that may factor in also.Neither system has any Pause or Feature deferral set; so that shouldn’t be a factor here as to why only one of the two systems is getting the offer to update to 1909.
Also both systems have identical sets of .NET updates installed except as noted previously regarding KB4532938. The 1st system (which has KB4532938) gets the offer to update to 1909. Whereas the 2nd system (which does not have and was not offered KB4532938) is not being offered the 1909 update.
So my current thinking here is that the presence or absence of KB4532938 is what determines whether or not a system gets offered the Feature update to 1909. But then the question is why was KB4532938 offered to only the 1st system, and not to the 2nd one?

AskWoody_MVPFebruary 10, 2020 at 2:16 pm #2138078Who knows 🙂
as you said, 2 systems, same edition and installed updates, yet 1909 is only offered for 1.NET and Flash updates have no effect on features updates
but, different user configuration might have effectyou could check and compare these registry keys between the two
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WaaSAssessment]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\OneSettings]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\PolicyState]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\PolicyState]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\TargetVersionUpgradeExperienceIndicators]Per your suggestion I checked and compared the above registry keys between the two systems, and this is what I found.
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WaaSAssessment]:
Almost all values are identical between the two systems except for these two: ETag (REG_SZ) and refreshAfter (REG_QWORD). These two values are completely different between the two systems, and I have no idea how to interpret their meaning.[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\OneSettings]:
All values are identical between the two systems.[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UpdatePolicy\PolicyState]:
All values are identical between the two systems.[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\TargetVersionUpgradeExperienceIndicators\UNV]:
Many values in this key are different between the two systems. However these values all seem to be descriptors of various hardware characteristics (e.g., BIOS versions) and OEM settings. So unless Microsoft is hardware blocking this 1903 system from updating to 1909, I don’t know why any of the values in this key would have any effect on whether or not the 1909 Feature update is getting offered to the system.-

AskWoody LoungerFebruary 10, 2020 at 5:55 pm #2138137My experience was a little different.
On 9 February I resumed updates and installed (amongst others) KB4528760 CU for Win 10 Pro 1903 for x86-based systems, to give OS build 18362.592, and KB4532938 CU for .NET Framework.
After rebooting, the optional KB4532695 showed up in Windows Update, but not the optional feature update to Windows 10, version 1909.
I was specifically looking for the feature update, so I paused updates again and immediately resumed them. This resulted in me being offered the feature update to version 1909, but not KB4532695.
After updating to Windows 10 version 1909 (OS build 18363.592) I was once again offered the optional update KB4532695 (which I haven’t installed).
Updates are now paused until 10 March.
I only use the pause function to control Windows Updates; I don’t use group policy settings or deferrals.
