I used it for a little bit, but will probably reinstall. I suddenly decided to disassemble my PC and now waiting for some new parts. Probably a good thing though. Most of the bad things get patched out in these early months.

Today I turned on my desktop and found out that the "windows.old" folder was 0 bytes in size.
My desktop had been off for a week. I'm running 1903 on it.

I just checked my laptop which I use everyday , also on 1903 but on my laptop the "windows.old" folder contains the previous windows installation files as expected.

Luckily I don't have any problems with 1903 on my desktop, but if I had any problems I wouldn't be able to revert the update since all files are gone from the previous installation.

Edit: Ok I found out the rollback period is 30 days, so it seems I was on 1903 for over 30 days now. Actually I was just about 2 weeks on 1903...

Update: I've gone back to ....Mmmm not sure. I use the Uninstall latest Quality update, as it was the only "Go back" option I have in Recovery options.

After I received 1903 last month I was very happy, the PC was very fast. But since th en there have been a couple of updates and performance in applications has fallen really really low. I will report back after using the pc a bit more.

Well this is interesting. The 1903 update is now ready to install on my old laptop. It's not installing automatically but looks like more of an option.
I think I will do a back-up first before I install this new update.

EDIT: Added screenshot is this normal?

You have to remember it's a DDR2 laptop & this update must have been released in the last 24Hrs, as before it was saying 1903 was not ready for my laptop. The last thing I want is my laptop to do BSOD as I do all my posting with this laptop & if it BSOD i'll will be stuck. Nevertheless I will do a backup before install.

With Windows 10 the mouse pad has never worked from day one of released of windows 10 & I have to use external mouse. I don't expect the mouse pad problem to be fixed with this update or any other future updates.

I installed it on my old Lenovo X201 lappy about a month ago. I updated it from a thumb drive and have had zero issues with it. Disclaimer, I use that laptop very rarely. I recently had to do a fresh install on my son's girlfriend's Lenovo T440p and she is having a lot of wifi issues. I gotta jump back into it and figure out what is going on, I think there might be a driver issue. I also updated my aunts Lenovo M81 desktop to it without any issues again using a thumb drive. That went smooth as silk. So far it seems to be the best build in a while. I'm considering putting it on my main rig but haven't quite gotten there yet.

Decided it was time to go 1903 via windows update - Everything seems OK so far. First boot so i havent really put it through its daily paces yet. The sound problem i was having with my SB-Z seems to be gone via a fix

1903 became widely available since late July 2019
it's even pushed to 1803 users around that time since the home & pro versions of win10 v1803 will go out of support in November 2019

I always get new feature updates thru updated ISO/USB installation media and never thru windows update
