Heads up! Microsoft finally releases a new build of Win10 version 1809
KB 4469342 (its fifth iteration, I believe) just went out the Windows Update chute. It brings Win10 version 1809 up to build 17763.168.
The main 1809 page lists several fixes, including one for the mapped drive reconnection bug. It also lists active blocks for Win10 1809 machines running Morphisec SDK, some Intel display drivers, F5 VPN, an older Trend Micro OfficeScan version, and AMD Radeon HD2000 and HD4000 GPUs.
You should assume that you’ll get bumped up to 1809 sooner or later, unless you actively block it. Presumably the rollout push will go with all due deliberation.

Credit: Helar LukatsThat’s the fourth version of KB 4469342, only available to those in the Windows Insider Release Preview Ring.
Much to its credit, Microsoft’s waiting until this Win10 1809 is ready.
