Introduction
Windows 10 1909 leverages servicing technologies used for the monthly quality update process. From Microsoft’s perspective, Windows 10 1909 was less disruptive for customers already in 1903.
Deployment Changes for Windows 10 1909 Updates
If you are on Windows 10 1809 or earlier thereof be many changes in the deployment behavior of Windows 10 1909. Otherwise(Win 10 1903 or later), you will get a much faster update/upgrade experience.
Windows Update for Business Changes?
- Windows 10 1809 or Earlier – The Windows team confirmed no difference in the deployment experience. Suppose the update is coming down from Windows Update for Business (configured via Intune?). The experience will be similar to all previous feature update experiences.
- Windows 10 1903 – This Windows 10 1909 update experience will be much faster and less disruptive. May be similar to monthly cumulative updates?

- WSUS category of this update is Upgrades
- Or You can use all the methods mentioned above like IPU TS, installation media, or 1909. But that experience will be going to be similar to 1809 feature updates.
Servicing of Windows 10 1909
- 30 months of servicing
- Windows 10 1903 and 1909 share the same core operating system. So, KBs for the servicing updates (CU) will be common between both versions.
- There will be two different updates available via WSUS/SCCM, and all?
End User Experience of WSUS/SCCM Update to 1909?
I feel Windows 10 1909 update experience will be similar to the monthly patch experience.
