I just received notice that this Feature Update is available for installation. But to me it seems to be a little lacking in useful new features (color mode choices, keeping tabs on your website tabs, etc.).
Is everyone installing this Update? If I choose not to, how long before Microsoft forces me to update? I sorta remember reading somewhere that Feature Updates are not mandatory and can be deferred for up to a year.
Right now both my Win 10 Pro machines are running without incident. But typically when I do an update, some parameters get changed and somethings get screwed up, necessitating some immediate detective work.
Just curious what others are doing......

I installed as soon as it was available, right at the end of October. I've had no problem.
Version 1909 is stated to reach end of service on May 11, 2021.

OK, thanks. I guess I will just have to wait and see if/when I'm forced to install Version 20H2,

If you have been keeping up with monthly updates, then the 20H2 update is extremely small and will install just like a monthly update.

I have it installed on my laptop and desktop with no issues. I've not had hubby's desktop or my other laptop turned on for a few days to check but will hopefully in the next few days.
