Microsoft has finally released the Windows 10 update 1909 (also known as November 2019 Update). In addition, the team has revealed all the changes and improvements that this update brings to the table.
You can download the November 2019 ISO files for updating your Windows 10 from the following links:
If this doesn’t work, you can open your Windows Update settings (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update) and select Check for updates. Once the update appears, you can select Download and install now.
According to Microsoft, Windows 10 version 1909 makes general battery life and power efficiency improvements for PCs with certain processors. It also adds additional debugging capabilities for newer Intel processors (for hardware manufacturers).
Moreover, this update brings some CPU optimization improvements. In case you weren’t aware of, a CPU may have multiple “favored” cores (logical processors of the highest available scheduling class). To provide better performance and reliability, Microsoft has implemented a rotation policy that distributes work more fairly among these favored cores.
Below you can find all the changes that the Windows 10 November 2019 Update features:
- This update will be published to WSUS so that customers can deploy and manage Insider Preview builds alongside their standard ConfigMan/WSUS approach
- We are offering pre-release support for 19H2 offered to Windows Insider Program for Business (WIP4Biz) customers who face blocking issues that prevent them from feature evaluation or device use.
- Windows containers require matched host and container version. This restricts customers and limits Windows containers from supporting mixed-version container pod scenarios This update includes 5 fixes to address this and allow the host to run down-level containers on up-level for process (Argon) isolation.
- A fix to allow OEMs to reduce the inking latency based on the hardware capabilities of their devices rather than being stuck with latency selected on typical hardware configuration by the OS.
- Key-rolling or Key-rotation feature enables secure rolling of Recovery passwords on MDM managed AAD devices upon on demand request from Microsoft Intune/MDM tools or upon every time recovery password is used to unlock the BitLocker protected drive. This feature will help prevent accidental recovery password disclosure as part of manual BitLocker drive unlock by users.
- A change to enable third-party digital assistants to voice activate above the Lock screen.
- You can now quickly create an event straight from the Calendar flyout on the Taskbar. Just select the date and time at the lower right corner of the Taskbar to open the Calendar flyout and pick your desired date and start typing in the text box–you’ll now see inline options to set a time and location.
- The navigation pane on the Start menu now expands when you hover over it with your mouse to better inform where clicking goes.
- We have added friendly images to show what is meant by “banner” and “Action Center” when adjusting the notifications on apps in order to make these settings more approachable and understandable.
- Notifications settings under Settings > System > Notifications will now default to sorting notification senders by most recently shown notification, rather than sender name. This makes it easier to find and configure frequent and recent senders. We have also added a setting to turn off playing sound when notifications appear.
- We now show the options to configure and turn off notifications from an app/website right on the notification, both as a banner and in Action Center.
- We have added a “Manage notifications” button to the top of Action Center that launches the main “Notifications & actions” Settings page.
- We have added additional debugging capabilities for newer Intel processors. This is only relevant for hardware manufacturers.
- We have made general battery life and power efficiency improvements for PCs with certain processors.
- A CPU may have multiple “favored” cores (logical processors of the highest available scheduling class). To provide better performance and reliability, we have implemented a rotation policy that distributes work more fairly among these favored cores.
- We have enabled Windows Defender Credential Guard for ARM64 devices for additional protection against credential theft for enterprises deploying ARM64 devices in their organizations.
- We have enabled the ability for enterprises to supplement the Windows 10 in S Mode policy to allow traditional Win32 (desktop) apps from Microsoft Intune.
- We’re updating the search box in File Explorer to now be powered by Windows Search. This change will help integrate your OneDrive content online with the traditional indexed results.
- We have added the ability for Narrator and other assistive technologies to read and learn where the FN key is located on keyboards and what state it is in (locked versus unlocked).

It took THIS long for the simple calendar update??? I’ve been thinking about something like that for years so I could also use my PC’s calendar as a reminder lol.
Can you read?
Can YOU?
Yeah. Which is why I could read the part where it said they optimized their CPU scheduler.
That’s a change that affects the performance of every single application on the operating system. This update definitely doesn’t just affect the calendar lol.
So which part of the CPU scheduler belongs to the Calendar???
At least fkin TRY…..
Jesus Christ you’re an imbecile.
The CPU scheduler doesn’t belong to the calendar lmao. It affects all programs. Which is my point. This update is much more than just an update to the calendar.
So you wanted yo be a crybaby instead of providing something of value? Gotcha.
Lmfao I’ve never witnessed mental gymnastics this stupid. Congratulations.
True, you’re quite special.
Pretty good update, as long as it optimize this garbage OS.
Still waiting for a proper dark theme that doesn’t require fxcking with the shell… At this pace it seems it’ll come with Windows 10X
Well, maybe I’ll turn on windows update than.
Maybe I won’t.
Who else is getting this? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f648c3fbd2ac61de682f7f7ebb617112f50928867445509ded122820326fac49.png
But most importantly, does it work really as it should ??
Thanks for the iso links 🙂
You can easily download Windows 10 straight from Microsoft since it came out.
My internet browser (Firefox) is way more responsive following this Win update for whatever reason.
Nice! After the last big update for FF it Had some issues for me.
plz fix link 403 – Forbidden
I really wonder do they change up menus and change the locations of some stuff this time ONCE AGAIN?
I just want my quick language/keyboard layout menu back and the sound settings without digging multiple menus always in different location after major update
I really hope they fix or at least improve the HDR, it was working fine for me before the last update!!
Hey JOHN,
Please read this article….

https://borncity.com/win/2020/02/13/windows-10-update-kb4532693-kills-user-data-profile/
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/the-latest-windows-10-update-is-doing-weird-things-with-user-data-and-profiles
Windows 10 is having an identity crisis. Reports claim the latest cumulative update to the operating system reverted certain settings to their defaults, removed files from the desktop and even loaded people into a temporary user profile upon restarting.
Microsoft released the Windows 10 KB4532693 cumulative update on February 11 to address issues with cloud printers, improve the Windows 10 May 2019 Update installation process and make security upgrades to many of its first-party services.
Bleeping Computer reported that numerous people have complained about the previously mentioned problems with the KB4532693 update, however, and Microsoft was said to have acknowledged those complaints in a statement.
The outlet also guessed how exactly the KB4532693 update is causing problems. It’s possible that Windows 10 loads a temporary profile used during the installation process, rather than the normal user profile, even after the update’s fully installed.
It’s not clear if that’s actually what’s happening, though, or how people should fix the issue. Bleeping Computer said that restarting the affected system multiple times appears to have helped some users, but that seems more like a fluke than anything.
By now many Windows 10 users have probably come to expect issues like this with operating system updates. Microsoft struggled to deliver stable cumulative updates in 2019, and so far, it doesn’t appear to have totally addressed the problem in 2020.

Hey, are you guys aware of this ? It’s all about messy AMD GPU drivers….I’m a victim myself…Please read this full article posted by WCCFTECH……
Sounds kind of interesting….https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-gpu-drivers-are-a-mess-black-screen-stuttering-flickering-issues/
AMD has released some intuitive features for their Radeon graphics cards in the more recent releases of the Adrenalin software suites but despite its best effort, there are many underlying issues associated with the drivers that have yet to be fixed and are swaying users away from Radeon RX series graphics cards.
AMD Might Offer A Great Software Feature Set For Their Radeon RX Series Graphics Cards But Their Drivers Are A Mess – Users Report Black Screens, Flickering, Downlclocking / Stuttering and More Issues With Navi
From AMD’s own subreddit, there are multiple reports from users who are experiencing various issues with their Radeon RX 5000 series ‘Navi’ graphics cards. The Navi lineup currently includes the following graphics cards which are all but based on the same architecture:
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (Navi 10)
AMD Radeon RX 5700 (Navi 10)
AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (Navi 10)
AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8 GB (Navi 14)
AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 4 GB (Navi 14),,,
Now coming to the issues, the first and most prominent bug which users have been experiencing since August 2019 is the black screen issue. AMD has yet to isolate the issue since it’s known to occur randomly. Most users have reported a black screen to occur while playing gamers or during driver installation. T

other users are also reporting pink & green screen issues which sound even more concerning. A pink and green screen may be due to various reason but the most common reason would be a memory heating problem. This might be specific to some AIB variants where we have seen the memory cooling is very inadequate and revised variants had to be released to sort out the heating problems. Despite the memory running at temperatures under the maximum threshold, it still manages to cross 100C on some variants which are not ideal for GDDR6 when playing games for a longer duration.

Actually, I’m not sure whether this news can of any interest to you guys, but it’s funny to see how MicroSoft screws up each and every of their latest Windows 10 OS updates…
A new report comes via TOM”s HW….
Microsoft released an optional Windows 10 update, KB4535996, in February to address problems affecting Windows Search. But yesterday Windows Latest reported that the update has introduced a few technical issues of its own.
https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/03/01/windows-10-kb4535996-issues/
Windows 10 users have reportedly complained of various problems with the KB4535996 update in Microsoft’s forums, Feedback Hub and Windows Latest’s comment section. It’s not clear how widespread any of these problems are.
Windows Latest said that some of the problems are the standard Blue Screen of Death, random freezes and other performance issues that often accompany operating system updates. (Especially, it seems, those made to Windows 10.)
But the KB4535996 update was also said to have failed to install for some people, and it’s also causing issues with sound adapters, according to the report. Uninstalling the update appears to have worked for most people affected by these issues.
Luckily optional updates like KB4535996 aren’t pushed on Windows 10 users–people have to find them by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and manually searching for updates to the operating system available for installation.
Microsoft said in the Known Issues section of the KB4535996 update’s support article that it’s “not currently aware of any issues with this update.” That isn’t uncommon, though, and the company might be working to address these problems anyway.
