TL;DR:

Yes, there will be some Windows Updates on Patch Tuesday in December.

No, some of them (the usual previews) won't be included.

Windows 10 Update, minus Previews... PING!

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

This post is primarily of interest to those of us in IT who administer Windows computers for our users, and rely on the Previews each month to warn us of what's likely to break.

Home users, possible interest, but generally not a big deal unless you look forward to trying out the Previews each month.

Windows 10 has been perfected.
No more need to update.

They probably contracted out the upgrade to Dominion Systems. :)

So many of their people have been probably been diverted to emergency duties helping to cover up the theft of the recent election that they are stretched thin right now. So you need to cut them a little slack... /s

When I want to do something mindless to relax, I reinstall Windows 95.

I have Windows 10 Home Version.

Just 4 days ago, MSFT did a massive auto-upgrade that took more than half an hour to completely install.

I do not see the “Version 1903” or “Version 1909” listed any place in my “Settings,” so I have no idea what they installed.

After five years, the computer still works fine, so I am not complaining.

There’s something wrong with my Surface Laptop 3. The fan is running very high and loud. Started a month ago. Hopefully they are looking into it but MS customer service is on par with AT&T and Comcast.

I think we may see a “patch” to correct some issues with the Windows 10 20H2 update.

Windows 10 is craptastic. The updates on my notebook are so constant that it drives me mad. Every time in the morning when I try to unlock the computer I see an on yet dark screen and I have to hold the power button down. after I do that I get a blue screen telling me it's unwinding the updates that it couldn't finish and then it starts normally.

If Microsoft keeps this up they're going to one day find out that they're no longer the leading operating system.

Microsoft: “Hey, we know you’re short on people during the holidays, so we’re not going to compound your operational issues when you’re understaffed”

Actual: “Most of OUR staff went home for Diwali in November, we didn’t get squat done.”

Doesn’t bother me. I’m enjoying my Windows 7 and have no intention to upgrade. My upgrade is turned off.
