If you are on Windows 10 version 1903, this version will no longer be supported by Microsoft. As a result of this, Microsoft started forcibly pushing the update to Windows build 1909. So what can you expect from this action?

Minor Update to Windows

This is a minor update. The October 2020 release is out and available for download, but that update takes much longer to process. Microsoft wanted to get users onto something that is still supported, but not keep users waiting 15 minutes or more for a major release to use their computers.
