Guys, let me know if it still takes forever to update via Update Assistant.

That list of known issues... you must be mad to install it.

Guys, let me know if it still takes forever to update via Update Assistant.

Took about 35 minutes, stayed at 86% forever. Thought it might be broken. Not too bad.

Also got it, well we see.

Great then! I'm always updating with it and never had any problems...

So where to get the ISO?

ISOs are available at https://tb.rg-adguard.net - download links are from Microsoft. I bet Heidoc will eventually catch up as well.

90 minutes start to finish, but that's with 18 mbps download speed - otherwise it would have been faster. Absolutely no problems that I can see. All settings intact. I can't imagine this will have any more bugs than 1803 or 1809.

Thank You

In fact they fixed some Edge HTML bugs from 1809 and Nano Adblocker is fully functional again for me. Still the old Nik Rols version of uBO so that's a no-go.

I think mine went 60 minutes total after the restart. The update assistant worked well it appears. I had to leave right after it finished. But, it booted and was still up when I got back, so it isn’t THAT messed up.

I was hoping you were going to say the WIndows-ISO-downloader tool as i want to create my own image...

You can download the ISO with the Media Creation Tool.

The fastest way is to download the ISO file using heidoc.net' tool. I used IDM through it and it downloaded in a flash.

Used the Update Assistant, it took about half an hour. Love that smeared lockscreen, NOT. Otherwise, so far, it's not too far off from 1809 which was running great on here. I prudently had the latest NVIDIA driver installed already this time. Disk Cleanup still seems to work so I'm going to reclaim 18.7 GB of space from old Windows. Winver right now is 18362.116.

Created a new installation media. Restarted the machine during Maintenance (oops) and received a blue screen. Not a BSOD, a blank blue screen. So I pressed the OFF button, already prepared to reinstall Windows, but luckily the desktop came back and all seems well. Phew!

Update failed.

The test pc has been updated. A warning will appear if there is anything other than C drive, regardless of the usb connection.
This pc used Tinywall, but 1903 seems to work incorrectly.
I did not feel the benefits of the update, so I reverted to 1809 with the system image. This time, I learned how to do a major update and recovery of Win10.

Aww snap, here we go again...

I wish it would have given me that warning, instead of going ahead with the update and failing in the middle.

It's plenty of Guinea pigs out there, isn't it?

I just updated from the ISO, as the update wasn't showing in Windows Update yet. It took just over an hour and my computer is working fine. I was not expecting there to be any issues.
