Windows 10 April update finally ready: build 17134 now as ISO

Microsoft has finally made it. After delays due to a fatal error, the Redmonder have completed the development of the “Spring Update” designated Windows 10 version 1803 , so that the update can now be downloaded via the Microsoft Windows Media Creation Tool.
Actually, Windows 10 version 1803 should appear a few weeks ago, but at the last moment a serious error appeared, due to the Microsoft stopped the publication in the short term. Actually, Windows 10 Build 17133 had been traded as the final version of the “Spring Update”, but due to the bug, it was initially moved to Build 17134.

This has apparently gone through all the internal tests and testing by the Windows Insider, so it was apparently declared the “final” issue and will be delivered within the next few days officially via Windows Update to the users of Windows 10.

As before, however, there is an opportunity to get to the new edition of Microsoft’s operating system right now. To do this, the Windows Media Creation Tool (MCT) must be downloaded and easily modified so that you can then create an ISO or a bootable USB flash drive with the updated version.

The update, which was previously developed under the code name “Redstone 4”, should be delivered to normal users of Windows 10 for the first time starting on 30 April or 1 May. Until then, you have to choose the method described below for the “unofficial” reference via the Media Creation Tool, in order to come in advance to the final release of the now well-known as ” Windows 10 April Update ” update.
First you download the Windows Media Creation Tool (MCT), so that you can later load all the setup files required for the Spring Creators Update from the Microsoft servers.
Now download the Products.cab customized by InsideWindows and put the two files in the same directory.
The Products.cab contains a catalog file in XML format, which Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool instructs which version of Windows to download from the Internet. With the file offered here for download, we inform the Media Creation Tool that we are not updating the fall (Redstone 3 or RS3-RTM), but the spring update (Spring Creators Update or April Update or Redstone 4 resp RS4-RTM). Normally, the tool pulls this catalog from the Microsoft server, but with a switch we can instruct it to take our own file.
