Even if I don't have the option to update it normally? Right now, the only options I have are to use the Update Assistant, or to use the USB method, the former of which sounds less of a hassle, I've been admittedly a bit wary to use that. Currently, I've been on 1803 and have no issues with performance, all my programs work great and it has been stable as an OS; I also admit that the whole-taskbar-refreshing-icons-periodically (the whole icon cache) thing still bothers me. I've been using a bag of M&Ms to obscure the taskbar because seeing it flicker bothers me, when it clearly shouldn't, maybe that's something I shouldn't be so bloody paranoid about?
Edit: Correction, I'm on 1809 not 1803
