Microsoft is coming just in time with the Windows 10 November 2019 update. You just have to look hard for it. This time, the biennial update is not (yet) automatically offered. In this article we tell you how to download and install the Windows 10 November 2019 update.
Every year, Microsoft releases two major updates for Windows 10. One in the spring and one in the fall. These were always accompanied by striking new functions that were presented with a lot of fanfare. The Windows 10 November 2019 update is smaller in nature. This is due to issues with previous updates, which have left many PCs behind.
Microsoft already gave you more control over installing updates. Read more about that in our article on how to disable automatic Windows 10 updates. The latest Windows version is now only available if you really want it, the update is not (yet) forced. How exactly does it work?
Download Windows 10 November 2019 Update
In Windows 10, go to Institutions, followed by Update and Security. Click here on the button Looking for updates. You may be behind on some so-called cumulative updates.

What's new in Windows 10 version 1909?
We are used to getting a big picture of what is new. That is not the case now. The explanation for that? Spectacular additions are missing this time. Many adjustments have been made under the hood to make Windows 10 run more smoothly. Nevertheless, we do find some new functions that are useful.
For example, it is now possible to create calendar appointments from the taskbar. Also new is the option to manage notifications via the action center. You will find that option at the top right of the screen. The search function of the Explorer has also been improved. This now shows the files that are found in a drop-down menu, even if you only enter a few letters.
Do you use OneDrive? The search function also brings up files that you have parked in the cloud with Microsoft.
