From ComputerWorld: Microsoft has begun forcibly upgrading Windows 10 PCs running version 1809 with the latest, the November 2019 Update, aka 1909, which the company launched less than a month ago.
"We will slowly start the phased process to automatically initiate a feature update for devices running the October 2018 Update (Windows 10, version 1809) Home and Pro editions," Microsoft said in a Dec. 5 message on Windows 10 1909's page of the Windows Release Health Dashboard. "We are starting this rollout process several months in advance of the end of service date to provide adequate time for a smooth update process."
Windows 10 1809 officially "launched" Nov. 13, 2018. On Home and Pro, the version will fall off Microsoft's support list on May 12, 2020.
So, Microsoft started its automatic 1809-to-1909 upgrades more than five months before the former becomes obsolete. That's a month earlier than the previous forcible refresh, the 1803-to-1903 upgrade Microsoft kicked off July 17, 2019 - four months ahead of 1803's Nov. 12 retirement.
