Applies ToWindows 10

The Windows 10 Update Assistant downloads and installs feature updates on your device.  Feature updates like Windows 10, version 1909 (a.k.a. the Windows 10 November 2019 Update) offer new functionality and help keep your systems secure. You’ll get these updates automatically after you download the Update Assistant.

If you don’t want to wait for an automatic update, or if you want to check for quality updates (which are more frequent and include small fixes and security updates), you can update Windows 10 yourself.

If you’re an IT professional, you can defer updates.  Go to Windows 10 servicing options.
