Krakatoa I think you miss typed the 1 for the 4 ? Because revision 418 is like 1909 RTM 448 < is like GA November 12 (or sooner): 1903 > upgrade to RTM 1909 (418, iso, esd, uup) + update GA (448 <) 1903 = KB4517245 (1909Enablement) + only update GA (448 <)
Hello, im' on 418, how to upgrade to 448 ? I downloaded 448 by UUP dump but the media installation doesn't want to keep my data,settiings ans software
Mount or unpack 448 .ISO within C: Drive & click on setup.exe File to do Update. Or if you have the Cab Files, Install SSU 1st then CU

This group policy takes care of many ads, as mentioned, I don't see any other ads after applying it, hence no need to apply any other tweak. IMHO it's better to tweak things in a minimal way, based on the windows settings and Microsoft documents, to avoid any unforeseen issues.
Is there a particular reason why these .exe smartversions became a thing, other than spoon-feeding morons? I don't like them one bit - due to the sensitive nature these end up shared on shady sites more often than not and that opens a vector for 3rd party attack. I have seen many PCs pwned via hijacked murphy update packs in the windows 8 days. And even for morons, I think is much more productive to teach them safer practices such as using the original, cross-platform, digitally signed smartversion executables coupled with a script for example. Else what happens, is that you have to now keep track of hashes for the sfv's as well, right?
Will that prevent that annoying Start Menu alert from appearing next to each new program stating a new program is installed? Also, if I use Winaero Tweaker together with that may I have problems?
I like to make self extract SVF patch files to satisfy my needs and make them smaller as possible. Why not to share with others? And more important, at least for me, SMV does not offer the best compression (for big SVF files), especially with x64 -> x86 conversion. E.g. There is SVFX W7 x64 SP1 -> W7 x86 SP1 with only 400 MB. Murphy`s tool do not offer any compression, just copy SVF inside *.exe. Completely agree. People always can open *.exe with 7zip and extract SVF(s).
No you don't. Winaero Tweaker covers everything that policy does as well as the policy directly above it. If you already have no ads, why bother mucking with it? Also what start menu alert are you referring to? The highlighting of new apps or the recently installed grouping at the top of the menu? If it's the latter, there is a setting under Personalization to disable the grouping. If it's the former, I've heard that a policy needs to be enabled as well as a registry key created but I have not personally tested it as I use OpenShell.
im sorry guys.. im too dumb.. im confused as hell. i have 1903 installed. what do i need to do to jump to 1909 with the so called "update package" you are refering all over this topic? was this update released as rtm? what are the process to jump from 1903 installed to 1909 without a new iso?
Didn't i post the complete package, incl. the install script for you before? Edit, nah, it was for another member, but here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...pc-19h1-2-release.79259/page-316#post-1554721 or https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...pc-19h1-2-release.79259/page-316#post-1554725* *Replace the x64 cab with the x86 cab, if needed. ps, the 1909 enablement package is still rp ring only, but when installed, you will get 18362/3 updates offered publicly.
