I'm seeing that MS has released a KB4529943 Unified Update Platform (UUP) update for v1903 (18362.XXX). Since 1903 and 1909 have shared service pack updates, I'm wondering if this one should be applied to v1909 18363.449 and what the impact will be. Comments are welcome.
It can, not should for both it's just a separate update for Windows Update components probably to fix unforseen issue, (e.g. deferral settings UI)
I currently use 1809 LTSC with Cortana removed. This and the Store do not miss me I use StartisBack for search in start menu and shell search is still working via windows explorer. But in 1903/1909 it seems that things are changing with Cortana at least but it is still safe to disable it. See NTLite changelog: "Win10 1909 Cortana added to ‘Shell Search’ compatibility, disable instead until the Search/Cortana split in 20H1"
Anything that depends on the common sense of the user will generate it even tweaks. Anyone who wants to tweak or chopping has to know how to solve problems on their own.
Is it possible to only integrate the EP to a 18362.1 image without having to integrate a SSU and/or a CU too? I tried integrating only the EP to a 18362.1 image with NTLite and it didn't let me. I had to integrate a SSU (I used the latest at the time) not to have an error message.
Never tried it without the other needed updates, but expecting to get a build mismatch error, because at the least the .32x ssu is needed to be integrated before the EP.

Well, but in that case I'd still "have" to keep on updating this image with the latest SSUs when they're released which is a little annoying (I chose to only integrate the latest CUs and SSUs or not to integrate any of them) so it may be better to wait for 20H1.
Best is to always start integrating updates with an image that has no pre-integrated updates anyway. Or just install the image without any updates in (18362.1) and let WU do the job or do the updates manually online. Or just install any 18363.32x+ ISO and install the updates by WU or manually.
I know it may not be recommended but how can I prevent Windows 10 from automatically create restore points? And even so, I guess they would be created anyway when installing a program or in other occasions.
I had plenty of problems with Language Pack installation after integrating updates from .1 Don't know what the issue was, too time consuming to find out. Starting from .32 solved it for me
EP is the 1909 Enablement Package, not a LP LP's are made to be integrated in .1, when integrated in .30, you would need to re-integrate the CU afterwards, to update the language specific files. At the time of release of 18362.30, that was an issue, but as soon as the next CU was released it didn't matter that much anymore.

Don't know what you mean by EP / LP. You tend to read me out of context. Whatever happened, happened a few months ago and led to some hair pulling. Don't want to revisit the topic and not curious enough.
