Are you a Windows 1 in 10 (1809)? Or a mighty 80 percenter (1803)? (Windows10 Update roll-out)

Me, I'm holding out for 19H1 (April 2019) on my Win10 installs.

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Got the 1809 on Windows Home, on a typical personal computer.

How do you check to see which Windows updates have been installed on your Win10 machine?

If you just want your Windows version number, start a command prompt (Windows key, press x, press c) then type

winver

then press enter.

Or, if you have a “Run” option, you can just run winver.

Got two on 1809 and one still inexplicably on 1803, with no real way to tell why. At the very least I think it’s time Microsoft started opening up as to what the hell is really going on.

Is the Windows version number the same as the last update number?

I have Windows Server on an old pc I bought from Goodwill for $80. No kb or mon, I turn it on and remote to it just to update Family Tree Maker from my Ancestry account. That is only once every 3 to 6 months.
Other than that, I have no use for any Microsoft Operating System.

> Why?

Do you mean "Why did I ping the list?", or "Why does it matter what Windows Update level I'm at?", or "Why something else?" :-)

Are you on the Windows Insider program?

Yes. It is the last successfully installed Windows version update. Running winver should display a window that shows "Version 1803" or "Version 1809" or something similar.

Plenty of people tried and failed to get 1809 to install.

Yep, just got the new version today. I like it. For me everything is quicker and I’ve got a new system.
