Has anyone got access to the 1809 ISO via VLSC? We only have 1709 and 1803 on ours :confused:

Looks like it isn't just you. I only have access to 1709 and 1803 too. I did previously have (and did download) 1809, but now it isn't there. Strange.

I was hoping on 1809 being stable by now but it seems a bit of a cursed release, wonder if MS are beginning to give up on it and concentrate efforts on 19H1 instead?

I've got all 400 PC's here on 1809 and it's pretty much rock solid, haven't rebuilt a PC due to OS issues since the roll-out at Christmas. Makes a pleasant change from the nightmare three months we ran 1709 which I never ever want to repeat again!!! I'm not planning to even look at 1903 other than on a test PC or two....

Interesting 1709 has been solid for us. We didn't touch 1803 but now getting 1809 ready.

How big are your SSDs? We are finally replacing staff laptops soon and are going M2 chips which will be 250GB I believe.

 

Hopefully they are big enough!

 

80gb - Small but the best we could afford in 2012 - I'm forever thankful that we managed to swing the extra cash for them (& 8gb ram) as we've had zero budget since then to replace them so they're doing pretty well.

 

We manage ok with them, but when we have extras like Adobe CC installed in some rooms we have to be extra careful - Especially with nasty realtek audio drivers that are quite happy taking up nearly 10gb of useless inf files when installed!

 

I think only 1607 was bad for us, that was terrible with Window updates if I remember correctly.

Yea to say 1607 is slow at updates is an understatement - It's what server 2016 is based off and a major reason I've pushed out Server 2019 is because the updating is a billion times better!!

Am guessing you implement the GPO to delete old profiles after so many days?!

Aye, tho we have it disabled on admin computers & set to a high level on teacher computers (As those are rarely logged onto beyond a few people) We then just keep an eye on usage via tools like Netsupport DNA.

Yeah you've got to use that with GPO with extreme caution

1809 has reappeared for me too.

 

Edit. 1809 and WS2019 disappeared from VLSC due to someone getting the date wrong! :rolleyes:

When this happens again in the future, the following form can be used to complain to the VLSC team... :D

Is there a "must have" feature in this release? As 1809 will be supported for beyond 19H1.

 

I don't intend to bother with spring releases in the future.

1809: HEIF support, better WDAG, multiple clipboards with win+v, rsat built into FoD, non admins can install fonts, auto free up space

1903: ability to uninstall more UWP apps, faster spectre mitigations, notepad improvements, windows sandbox, non admins can install fonts with drag and drop, better RAW support, more security stuff
