    The 1809 downloads page seems to be broken: https://i.imgur.com/VmcLiQR.png
    Thanks, Microsoft! I’ve also tried https, same this. This is on Microsoft’s side, the link is the right one. I think the x86 is the only one working properly.

      You should be able to use this:
      https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
      Download it, run it, and there should be an option saying Update this computer, or something similar.
