Windows 10, versions 19 share a common core operating system with an identical set of system files. This enables you to install the update to Windows 10, version 1909 with an improved update experience and reduced downtime. What’s new about delivering Windows 10, version 1909ĭevices running Windows 10, version 1903 can take advantage of a new way of servicing that leverages the same servicing technology used to deliver monthly quality updates to get the new features and capabilities available in version 1909. Again, for devices running Windows 10, version 1809 and previous, there is nothing new with the update process to version 1909. This applies to devices managed with Windows Update or Windows Update for Business, or devices self-managed with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Configuration Manager, or other management tool.

In this post, we are sharing more detail about the mechanics that will be used to provide those improvements.īefore we describe what’s new, however, we want to clarify that if a device is running any version of Windows 10 earlier than version 1903, the process of updating to version 1909 will be the same as previous feature updates. In recent blogs by John Cable and myself, we shared how Windows 10, version 1909 (referred to internally as 19H2) will continue our efforts to improve the overall update experience for consumers and businesses. This post was co-authored by John Wilcox (Windows as a Service Evangelist, Windows Servicing & Delivery), Alec Oot (Principal Program Manager Lead, Windows Servicing & Delivery), and Will Patton (Senior Program Manager, Windows Servicing & Delivery)
