Still running Windows 10 1803?: Microsoft warns about ending support
The support for Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018 update) will end in a few weeks. Microsoft has already begun recommending an update to end-users, before the forced update begins.
If you still use Windows 10 in version 1803, aka Redstone 4 aka April 2018 Update, you will receive a warning message that points to the upcoming support end of this version of Windows. Users can still use Windows 10 1803 until November 12, 2019 - after that, there will be no updates new for this release. Microsoft itself began updating existing systems with version 1803 last July but informs users with message explicitly about the end of support for Redstone 4. Windows users will have to make do with a forced update after the end of the support phase. The notification is:
The Windows 10 April 2018 Update will end on November 12, 2019 for the Home and Pro editions. Beginning on July 16, 2019, we will begin updating devices with the Windows 10 April 2018 Update to ensure that these devices are in a maintained and safe condition
As soon as support for version 1803 of Windows 10 ends, a forced update to the current Windows version 1903 takes place. If you run Windows 10 1809, that will get supported until May 2020.
BTW: to check your version of windows real fast, click on the windows button and type: "winver".

Don't talk to me about 1903, everytime i attempt to install it just sends my system into a mess. Currently if i have it installed my wifi drops constantly and very weird colouring from my monitor but 1809 is just perfect. I so wish ms would get to grips with their releases and hotfixes.

Isn’t 1909 supposed to be released today? It’s patch Tuesday and it’s October

Gotta suck when support for support for 1803 ends, yet windows fails to upgrade to newer version.

Wow. Only two years of support for an OS now from MS. This sounds like a joke, except it isn't funny.

Maybe the title should be:
Still using Windows 10?
Could be a better question IMHO.

For most people, I don't see the problem with that since Microsoft allows everyone to update to the latest Win10 version for free.
And I guess people using Win10 and needing the best stability would use the LTS edition.

It's not that they allow the update. It's that they force it. And it's a very intrusive update. It's actually an installation of the OS, not just an update.
So I don't want to update. End of story. Every time I do, something breaks. It even repartitions my disk without asking me. Didn't have this problem with XP or 7. I'm still on 1709 for that reason.

And I am on 1607 LTSB....so far most stable, similar to my sec os, w7. Gaming wise only!
If there was more dx12 games, then this garbage may, may be more popular, despite its flaws. For now, nah...

Though Windows 10 and 8 have a huge advantage over Win7 for Battlefield and the other games running on Frostbite 3, due to DX11.1. Vulkan is also supposed to run faster on Win10.
Benchmarks also showed that Win7 and 8 have alot worse performance after the Spectre and Meltdown mitigations, than on Win10.

intresting I think this is the update that just got pushed to my dads pc? or maybe it 1809 I dont know, I just know there was no updates pushed or received on that pic since 1709 was install,
My personal PC is still running 1809 then again not been around to use my pc seeing i am 600+ miles away from it.
They really need to sort there shit out cause forced updates I can get IF they work properly and dont fubar stuff
