So they don't have it, for normal people, then. Also - can you even get an LTSB release for the latest Windows 10 1703 Creators Update?


The latest ltsb is 1607, and the next one is slated for 2019.

>can you even get an LTSB release for the latest Windows 10 1703 Creators Update? Why get ltsb if you're going to get the latest version anyways? You might as well use regular enterprise and defer feature updates.


Because we're discussing getting features when the user wants them, not as a surprise auto upgrade in the middle of a presentation. And getting security updates quickly without having to buy-in to new features at the same time.

That's not the issue because even if there aren't feature updates to apply, there are still security updates that triggers a restart. They extended the working (no restart) hours to 18 hours, which should be enough to prevent surprise auto updates from happening.

Then get LTSB. But if you're going to be using the latest version anyways (as indicated by you wanting the creators update) use CBB + defer feature updates, which buys you at least 8 months of extra time.


The point is that you shouldn't risk having to learn a new UI or resolve driver issues in the middle of your exam or presentation. Or even during a particularly busy work week.
