Windows 10 April update

Please be aware that although the above update takes minutes (5 in my case) this updates installs a new version of Windows 10 and takes a fair time to fully install. (2hrs 15min in my case)
You have been warned!

Too late!   ;D

Not had that update, did you download it yourself, or did Windows just do it?

Thanks for the warning  :)

With our broadband speed these "feature" updates usually take most of the day  :'(

Like all the 6 monthly updates there will be a gradual rollout. You may get it today, you may wait a couple of months when you've completely forgotten about.

The link was a result of a search of the Microsoft website.
Can't say when it will be offered as a general update!

I have Windows 7 too - I've had more than 30 updates since the beginning of this year. Some may not apply to you but there have been Security updates among the 30 + . What happens if you check for updates manually ?

Thanks Christine, I get a message which says "Windows cannot check for updates as the service is not running"

No wonder it hasn't updated for months  ;D
