Update Windows 10 Offline
You have prepared your PC for the big day. You are excited about the new features and improvements it will deliver. The big day has arrived -- Microsoft has released its semi-annual update to Windows 10 ($100 at Walmart) -- and yet you find yourself stuck in a line so long that you can't see the front (where, I like to imagine, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is handing out box copies).
Microsoft gradually rolls out its big Windows updates because it doesn't want its servers to catch fire and explode with millions of Windows users downloading the update all at once. The first users will be able to download the update April 30, with more updates being rolled out in the following week.
Thankfully, there's a way to cut the line and install Windows 10 April 2018 Update manually.
Update Windows 10 offline with Portable Update. This method for Windows 10 offline update requires users to use a freeware Portable Update, with which, you can update Windows 10 offline without an Internet connection. It won't leave a trace in the Windows registry and if you come across errors, it shouldn't be caused by this software. Download KB4100403 standalone installer package as May Patch Tuesday Update using direct official links and perform an offline installation on multiple systems with a single setup. Windows 10 cumulative update for the latest Windows 10 version 1803.

Manual install of Window 10 April 2018 Update
Before you install manually, it's a good idea to check to make sure your computer hasn't already downloaded it. You might already have the necessary files, but Windows 10 is being polite and waiting until after your Active Hours to restart your computer and install the update.
To check to see if the update is ready to install, go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update and see if the update is available. If not, you can perform a quick scan by clicking the Check for updates button. If you swing and miss here, then you can proceed to the manual route.
Go to this Microsoft Software Download page and download the ISO files for Windows 10 April 2018 Update. Run the file to open the Windows 10 Update Assistant, and follow the instructions to complete the installation process. It's a quick and relatively painless process.
