Moved to Windows 10, got the hiccups

[Blín D'ñero]

Two of my three Windows 10 pc's refused to update. Only the newest, i built this year, went ahead.

Oh wait, there's nothing to worry.
Even better. Just stay at 1909.

Windows 10, version 2004 and Windows Server, version 2004 known issues list microsoft.com


I restored my previous version of Windows on the one PC. What a waste of time.
