You can/should manually try to get the update by clicking the "Check for updates" button in the "Update & Security" section of your main "Settings", during the time you have that better internet connection. They do stagger the release in some manner, but I think clicking button that may move your computer way forward in the queue.
I know they announced such staggered roll outs of 'flights' (aka
releases) in their Insider program, and I was able to get them
right away by clicking that button. In the past day or two,
Microsoft announced that anyone wanting to stick with that
upcoming Fall Creator's Update (1709) that we had been getting
early releases of, should get out of the Insider program right
away. I bailed out of the Insider program on version 1709:
16299.15, so I'll be clicking that button next week to see if I
can get anything new. ;-)

The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is due to be released at 10 a.m. U.S. Pacific time zone today (or 1700 UTC, if I did the math right). Get more details on its rollout here:
Point 2 on that page describes how to manually get and apply the
update, if the "Check for Updates" option isn't working for you in
that first rollout phase that page talks about. I also note that
that page is still only offering the original "Creators Update" at
the moment, since it is still 3 hours, and change, until it is 10
a.m. in California yet.

However, you can force the update by downloading tools from the Microsoft website here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You can use the "Update now" link there to download a program that will upgrade your computer, or you can create installation media for use with other qualified computers by following the "Download tool now" link. The latter is recommended if you have many computers to update.
I did it today and can verify that Flex works.

Hi Paul,I'm looking forward to this update next week, especially because I will happen to be in a zone which has better internet for just that week. It will be critical that I get the update during that week, otherwise, I'll have to wait 5 months until I return to Canada.My question for you is this: will the update happen automatically to my Windows 10 machine on October 17th, or does Microsoft stagger updates over a course of time and so it is anyone's guess when I might expect it to occur on my machine? And if that is the case, is there anything I can do to force my machine to update during that critical week when I will have access to better internet?ThanksColin

Hello all,The RS3 (RedStone3) branch that has the Windows 10 fix for which we have been waiting will not be released today.

You can expand the sections to get more info about it than you can at

I just tried out the Download tool now button at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 to download MediaCreationTool.exe. Then, running this file, I selected the option to create installation media for another PC. To make things as convenient as possible, I then chose the option USB flash drive when asked which media to use, and inserted a blank 8GB flash drive. The MediaCreationTool then downloaded the needed files, verified them, prepared the setup, and transferred it to the flash drive.
To update a computer with an existing Windows 10 installation, I then ran the setup.exe file on the flash drive. Simulating no Internet connection, I selected the Not right now option at the Get important updates screen. After accepting the license terms, I eventually got to the Ready to install screen. The default options selected here were Install Windows 10 Home and Keep personal files and apps. Accepting these default options and clicking the Install button performed the update. Using this method I first got version 1709 build 16299.15. After going to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Check for updates to get the remaining updates, the Windows 10 installation updated to build 16299.19.
The USB stick made using the method above is also bootable and may be used to set up a new Windows 10 computer. So I would also recommend everybody to make a USB stick like that for backup purposes.

Subject: Re: [FLEx] Microsoft has delayed their Fall update
Unfortunately, the only thing I can find about the "Create Windows 10 installation media" options says you can use it to "install a new copy of Windows 10, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10", which is not what we want.
It might be easiest for us to just wait until it is deployed to our Windows 10 server here and then have users update locally.
Thanks,
James

I am a little confused how this is supposed to work.
When I open the file downloaded from the "Download tool now" link, it seems to be wanting to create an installer Windows 10. Is that JUST the Fall Creators Update, or is it more? The Microsoft blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/10/17/get-windows-10-fall-creators-update) says, "you can download and run the Media Creation Tool on the same site, which will help you perform a clean installation or reinstall of Windows 10."
The "clean install" or "reinstall" of Windows 10 is what is confusing me.
You can find out more about that "Create Windows 10 installation media" option at this site:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You can expand the sections to get more info about it than you can at that blog site, but it looks like a good fit for you all.

I'd say it was a fairly safe bet, given that the file includes "1709",
which is the major version number for the Fall Creators Update. ;-)
For those with download challenges, one setting option to consider is in
"Delivery Optimization", where one can turn on "Allow Downloads from
other PCS", and then choose "PCs on my local network". That would
require one to get it the hard way, but the others on the local network
could then get it locally.

Have there been any indication of problems with this release? Is it safe to go ahead with the update (1709)?

When using the MediaCreationTool to make an ISO file, the download will be automatically verified before the Windows.iso file is created. So I don’t understand why you didn’t get an error message if the verification was not successful. I don’t have a checksum for the file, but the size should be 3 809 476 608 bytes if it was downloaded for Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

I’m a bit puzzled here. When I click your link below, it automatically redirects to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, and from that site the only way to get an iso file, is by clicking the Download tool now button to first download MediaCreationTool.exe.

After I installed 1709 build 16299.15, it automatically updated to build 16299.19. But both Paratext and FLEx will run OK without the 16299.19 update.
