Those who already work with Windows 10 Version 1903 will have the code for Version 1909 already on their hard disk. The distinction between the two Windows 10 versions is made only by the build number.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows 10 Version 1903 uses Build Number 1836<strong>2<\/strong>.xxx\n<li>Windows 10 Version 1909 uses Build Number 1836<strong>3<\/strong>.xxx<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To upgrade from Windows 10 Version 1903 to Windows 10 Version 1909 you need an Enabler Update (KB4517245). This unlocks the relevant features for the Windows 10 November 2019 update and changes the build number from 1836<strong>2 <\/strong>to 1836<strong>3<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Funktionsupdate f&uuml;r Windows 10, Version 1909\" alt=\"Funktionsupdate f&uuml;r Windows 10, Version 1909\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ztcHF9C.png\" width=\"629\" height=\"428\">  <\/p>\n<p>The enabler update KB4517245 is offered to users in Windows Update as a feature update to Windows 10 Version 1909. The download and installation must be initiated explicitly via <em>Download Now and Install<\/em> link.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h2>A crude case: Windows 10 V1909 without approval<\/h2>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.askwoody.com\/2019\/upgraded-to-1909-or-was-he\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">askwoody.com<\/a> I became aware of a crude case. Tero Alhonen hat documented it at Twitter with screenshots (see below). <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">??? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BReFDX63XH\">pic.twitter.com\/BReFDX63XH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tero Alhonen (@teroalhonen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/teroalhonen\/status\/1197528318800801794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Tero Alhonen says that although he is a Seeker (he had searched in Windows Update), he never agreed [to <em>Download and install now<\/em>] to install the feature update. Nevertheless, he was suddenly offered a reboot to install the feature update on Windows 10 Version 1909 on the Windows Update page (top screenshot in the tweet above).<\/p>\n<p>But it gets even crazier, as the screenshots in the lower tweet show. The update history page indicates a successful installation of a Feature Update to Windows 10 Version 1909 on November 21, 2019 on that machine. . But it gets weird when you look at the version value shown in the screenshot. Winver reports build 18362.418, which is Windows 10 version 1903 according to my explanations above. <\/p>\n<p>So what Tero Alhonen has on his system is somehow not Windows 10 Version 1903, but also not Windows 10 Version 1909. It seems that some bits are jammed pretty well. Or it's a big joke from Tero \u2013 who knows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[German]Just a brief information about a crude behavior of Windows 10 November 2019 update.
