When I checked for Windows Updates, I was first given

as well as a Cumulative Update for .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.8 (KB 4522741)

Cumulative update for Autopilot in Windows 10 version 1903: October 22, 2019 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4523786/cumulative-update-for-autopilot-in-windows-10-version-1903):
QuoteThis update makes quality improvements to Windows Autopilot configured devices, which is the component that enables organizations to easily provision their devices.
. . .
Note Windows Autopilot update is not installed on Windows 10 Pro or a later version when the device is not registered or configured for Windows Autopilot deployment. Windows Autopilot update is never offered to Windows 10 Home.
Reading the above Note, I did not expect to see the Autopilot update. However, reading Overview of Windows Autopilot (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-autopilot), apparently it is provided because it is an OEM device.

Me, too ... only thing I noticed was the fan running at high speed after the second reboot, for 10 minutes while things got sorted out. Things back to 'normal' now.
