• Win10 1803 starts to roll out to Win10 users with “Semi-Annual Channel” and 180 day “feature update” deferral

  If you have Win10 Pro update advanced options set for “Semi-Annual Channel” (which is to say, ready for business) and 180 days for “feature update” (which is to say, version upgrade) deferral, you’re going to see 1803 rolling down the update chute.

  I have my version upgrade deferral set to 120 days (see the screenshot), so I’ve already dealt with this particular gotcha.

  Be forewarned.

  Thx HotDogginMcG.

• Another report of an unwelcome 1803 upgrade over a metered connection

  Just got this from ig:

  Warning! Windows is now forcing 1803 on those applications that are currently using build 1709. I did my 1709 cumulative updates today on my metered connection. 1803 was hidden using the wushowhide as usual. Windows update utility showed my PC was current as of today, after I installed the updates. However, a few hours later, with out warning, Windows started installing feature update 1803! My settings have always been on manual not automatic. Nor did I chose any time settings. I’m using Home, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this occurs with Pro, since they did pulled a similar stunt with the previous Fall Creators build.

  Any other reports of 1803 being pushed over a metered connection?
