Windows 10 Stuck on 10240

[ddswh1pk0s]

Hello everyone.

 

I am not on any preview builds or anything like that just the normal stable builds but noticed that I have been on 10240 for quite some time.

 

Is there a newer build available? I have checked windows update and the update history as well as event viewer but found nothing.

 

If there is a new build available, do I install it by using an install USB and clicking upgrade?

 

Thanks in advance

If you set Windows Update to "Defer Updates" then you will not get big build changes until a few months pass.

I've done all those things defer updates is unchecked and I haven't turned any automatic download or installs off.

The current official build of Windows 10 is: 1511 (Build: 10586.36)

To check for updates, do Settings -> Update & security -> Windows Update -> Check for update

If you upgraded to Windows 10 within the last 30 days, even if you performed a clean installation of it within the last 30 days, Windows 10 will not apply any major version updates until a period of 30 (or maybe 31) days has passed. The general reason for this is so that people who have upgraded from Windows 7 or 8(.1) can still roll back to their previous OS, if they choose to within the 30 day roll-back period. Even though this feature only applies to people who have directly upgraded from Windows 7 or 8(.1), who still have their previous Windows OS installation on their drive, the waiting period to receive major new Windows version updates is enforced even for people who have performed a clean installation of Windows 10 on their system.

 

There isn't a practical reason for it, it's an oversight on MS' part, and as far as I know, there isn't a way around it. I tried with multiple MS techs over remote access and telephone assistance, to force my W10 installation to receive the update, but despite hours of their efforts, messing with Windows files on my PC, they couldn't make it happen.

 

This new, leaner MS is not performing at the same level which MS has typically performed at in the past.
