    Just asking, not that I want to do it. Wanted to be sure which updates goes with LTSC 2019.

    I found through another thread that there is no build 1903 for LTSC 2019 only 1809.

    Dumb question again, I'm sure.

    But do you know if the 1809 updates from this thread are for LTSC 2019?

    :pissy:

    I feel like a jack-ass asking this newbie questions, I just don't want to mess up anything,

    Thanks- I was wondering if there was output because the windows stayed open for a long time and never closed. I ended up closing it after around 8-10 minutes, not sure if that was too soon or not. I am going to run another test today in VM and let it go until the window closes by itself.

    Would love to see this is a batch file, or cmd file to automate the process, much less typing/copy pasting. Maybe placing the nsudo and iso in the same folder, one bat file to run entire process. I'd do it if I was an expert at batch file making..

    I had installed from a .327 iso a few days ago. Update to .329 would fail (KB4512941), both via Windows Update and manually. After applying this hack, Windows update still didn't work, but the failed update could finally manually be installed. I UUP-converted just a Win10 German Pro version, which is what I have installed, so index:1 should be correct?
    After applying this hack I realized I end up with quite a "huge" problem. After finally having updated to .329 and doing a...

    Code:
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    
    ...I still ended up with an extra 2,2GB used diskspace!

    Code:
    c:\Windows\WinSxS before: 6,1GB
    c:\Windows\WinSxS after: 7,8GB
    
    c:\Windows before: 10,7GB
    c:\Windows after: 12,9GB
    
    @abbodi1406 thanks for supplying a fix that gets the update installed. However, this is quite a massive increase in used diskspace. Any hints on how to clean this up afterwards? If you have no solution for this, would it make sense to sit this out and wait for the next cumulative update instead? Would that get installed or would we face the same issue? Or would you believe there is another way to fix this like an inplace upgrade to a 329 iso?

    Please advise.

    You either endure the bigger size, or risk breaking future CUs installation
    extra 2 or 3 GB should not be a real problem

    Thanks for your reply @abbodi1406

    So I did indeed restore from an image backup to retry with an inplace-upgrade, for which I created a proper 18362.329 iso.
    (18362.329.190828-1651.19H1_RELEASE_SVC_PROD3_CLIENTMULTI_X64FRE_DE-DE.ISO)

    And the results are quite surprising:

    Code:
    c:\Windows\WinSxS before (fresh 18362.327): 6,1GB
    c:\Windows\WinSxS after applying abbodi's hack and cleaning up: 7,8GB
    c:\Windows\WinSxS after inplace-upgrade to 18362.329 and cleaning up: 3,3GB
    
    c:\Windows before (fresh 18362.327): 10,7GB
    c:\Windows after applying abbodi's hack and cleaning up: 12,9GB
    c:\Windows after inplace-upgrade to 18362.329 and cleaning up: 5.8GB
    

    Windows Update works and finds no longer any uninstalled updates.

    Code:
    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.329]

    <...>
    

    I am still very surprised and confused by the huge differences in numbers compared to .327 vs .329 so I assume that windirstat gets a little confused by WinSxS, how could that be almost a 50% difference in size? In the end I have compared the filesizes of the compressed backups of the entire installations and this gives some more realistic numbers.

    Code:
    Highly compressed backup (after applying abbodi's hack and cleaning up): +1.04GB
    Highly compressed backup (after inplace-upgrade to 18362.329 and cleaning up): -0.14GB
    
    This does indeed mean that .329 is considerably smaller than .327, this appears to be a very optimized CU (or atleast it finally replaces a tons of patches that were not yet cumulated). Absolutely nothing like 50% smaller, but definitely noticable. The highly compressed +1.04GB (compared to .327) shows that the extra 2.2GB diskspace (as reported earlier) was indeed a real number.

    I admire the smart work you've put into your hack, but these numbers speak for themselves. And it will also make me sleep much better, I didn't feel comfortable with reinjecting ancient stuff from a base build that is months old. I can only advise people to try an inplace-upgrade first and see if this fixes the problem (it did for me).

    abbodi's fix has always worked so far, on many machines I tried. Are you sure to have followed in the exact way the needed steps of his own guide ?

    I had the same problem, but I was able to install the CU manually which lifted me to .239 as well. As can be read in my earlier post, I reverted and decided for an inplace-upgrade instead, which results in no errors at all.

    About Cortana was maxing out one cpu core after installing kb4512941 and search didn't work issue:
    (docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-1903#676msgdesc)

    I had same problem, fixed by turning from 0 to 1 the value of:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\BingSearchEnabled

    1909 = 1903 + SSU/CU and maybe the 1909 enablement package update;)
