But, in early April, Microsoft officials said the plan was to make Windows 10 1903/May Update available to consumers and business users starting in late May, not in mid-April.įrom Microsoft's April 4 blog post about plans to change the Windows 10 update experience in the name of improved quality: If Microsoft hadn't changed its Windows 10 servicing cadence a couple weeks ago, this would be business as usual. On April 18, some tech pros began noticing that Microsoft had made its Windows 10 1903/May 2019 Update release available on MSDN for download. Here's how you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade.With rollout of 21H2, Microsoft moves Windows 10 to annual updates.Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11: Step-by-step.Windows 10 is a security disaster waiting to happen.Our commercial customers can begin their targeted deployments in late May, which will mark the beginning of the 18-month servicing period for Windows 10, version 1903 in the Semi-Annual Channel. This is a bit surprising, as Microsoft explained in this blog post at the beginning of April 2019 that commercial users should not receive Windows 10 until the end of May 2019. In fact, Microsoft has made the files needed for Windows 10 V1903 available for download on April 18, 2019. Blog reader EP tipped me in a comment, that something had happened at MSDN – some US blogs already reported about that. I had reported about that in the blog post Useless Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 V1903 released.įor MSDN subscribers, however, the situation is now different. The MCT downloads version 1809 as an installation image. But this turned out to be a duck, because although a modified MCT version existed, Microsoft did not yet provide any relevant files.

A few days ago there was already hope that non-insiders would be able to download Windows Update (Version 1903) as an installation medium via Media Creation Tool (MCT).
