Folks, there is a good article over at Neowin outlining the additions that are coming with 1909. Sounds good. In reality, its a good time to "lock down" windows updates on whatever version of Windows 10 you may be using. Why? The last patch Tuesday releases, out of band as well as D sets are a mere quagmire. Start menus being broken, print spooling issues, the IE vulnerability known to be in the wild still isn't clearly documented as patched. Lock down your system until the next patch Tuesday next week has passed and some references to what is broken and not are available. A few of the known issues are located over on AskWoody as well for your review.
An Intune Autopilot update, which was targeted as part of the out of box experience for new devices, was incorrectly offered to customers running Windows Home edition during a regularly scheduled Windows update scan.
Once we became aware of the issue, we stopped distribution of the update. If you have already installed the update, it will not affect you. If not, there is further action required. Hope this helps!

The MS article said this, so if a machine with W10 Pro or later hasn't ever registered for AP deployment the update isn't pushed to that machine.
Note Windows Autopilot update is not installed on Windows 10 Pro or a later version when the device is not registered or configured for Windows Autopilot deployment. Windows Autopilot update is never offered to Windows 10 Home.
Indeed Jim. I brought my problem child Dell laptop with the AMD R5 Graphics chipset (New one) up to 18362.449 this morning. Auto Pilot wasn't offered here either. Just the 449 feature update and one update for .NET. Things look ok thus far.
Well, it appears Microsoft has snuck a few updates out to those who are just getting updates for the hay of it. Bringing version 18362.449 as the current Windows 1903 version with a bunch of fixes incorporated. One update that I can assure you no one wants UNLESS of course you are administrating in an IT environment is KB4523786. Microsoft talks about what this update is in this thread. I don't need this garbage do the rest of you?
It took 3 hrs as it was a full Feature update, not a quirky as we were told.
Indeed, the above is the very reason I am not allowing 1909 onto my systems. Of course, I am no longer doing the insider thing so I don't get the insider builds. MS has bungled too many updates over the past year for me to have that trust level. Thanks for the update Jim.
My Laptop was on the Slow ring and was recently updated to 1903 Build 18362.10024 and MS recommended to move to the Release Preview ring. I did it and on Monday it was updated to 1909 Build 18363.448.
It took 3 hrs as it was a full Feature update, not a quirky as we were told.
All my remaining machines are on the latest 18362.418 build and locked down until 1 November. Indeed it will be a small update and will get installed rather quickly. I'll continue to wait until the after release bug checks go out before installing 1909.
I have my systems on pause and I am always on www.tenforums.com as they have current information on updates. On Tuesday I read the information on current updates and posts from those that updated and then un-paused WU to get the latest updates. After a good update session I again paused WU until the end of OCT.
Two of my systems are now on 1903 Build 18362.418 and running fine. I used Macrium to image my discs after updating as I have done for years.
My Laptop is running 1903 Build 18362.10022 which is an Insider build and has 1909 features installed.
I brought my Windows 10 Home laptop up to build 18362.418 with the patch Tuesday release. I was only offered two updates, KB4517389 which is the current build, and KB890830 which was definitions for Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. No issues. I locked the laptop back down until 01 November again to block Microsoft dropping 1909 out of the blue. No issues thus far.
Well, its patch Tuesday for October, over on AskWoody they are still sitting at MS-DEFCON 1 "DON'T PATCH". According to their article there are 132 fresh patches in the MS update catalog. The folks at Bleeping Computer have a different take on patching as noted here. My recommendation is following Woody, WAIT!! Give things a few days to shake out any NEW bugs or old ones that still exist from previous monthly patches.
