    I have checked and on my desktop I have different(higher number) version of Windows 10 than on my laptop. Yet when I am trying to force Windows 10 update on my laptop it claims that I am up to date. In both cases it's Windows 10 Pro 1803 64-bit. Is this normal behavior?

    You have to download the ISO from Microsoft to get the new version installed.

    He already stated that he's on Build 1803 on both his desktop and laptop which is Redstone 4 and you can upgrade from any version to the latest edition!

    OP, sometimes the updates just get delayed from one system to the other you can force update the laptop manually if you don't want to wait:

    KB4340917 July Cumulative Update

    After you install the Cumulative update and reboot, then install the Adobe Flash Player Update (no need to reboot for the Adobe Flash Update)

    Adobe Flash Update KB4338832

    Well, I hope it's delayed for me and not blocked in any way. I have double checked my settings and it looks fine. I have also ran Troubleshooter and Update Assistant Tool and those also told me that I am fine. Only didn't try to manually apply patches like you've suggested.

    In the future, if this happens again:

    I had the same issue, I fixed it by stopping the Windows Update Service, deleting all files in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

    then rebooted and checked for updates again, now it downloaded the updates properly and installed them

    Or you can simply run this file ad admin and it will stop the service, delete the files, then restart the service

    Delete Windows Update Temp Files

    Code: 
    net stop wuauserv
CD %Windir%
CD SoftwareDistribution
DEL /F /S /Q Download
net start wuauserv
