Alan,

At some point, the updates need to be implemented. Enterprises can delay

it. Small companies with no (or limited) internal tech usually can't. Or

they come up with kludges to stop them. But in essence the Windows 10 you

have today will not be the same Windows 10 you have in 1.5 years. I am

wondering why they even bother with keeping the 10. Why not call it Windows

build 1803 (in your case).... The 10 is just irrelevant now.

Just my 2 cents...

Not true. Windows 10 Pro, Education and Enterprise versions can defer

feature updates (i.e. the big semi-annual ones) for up to a year. This would

need to be specifically configured in Group Policy though. Our organisation

has thousands of Windows 10 boxes I imagine, and we're all still on 1803.

You cannot normally defer these updates in Windows 10 Home without fiddling

in the registry. But hey, what business is using that version, right?
