If you don’t see SCCM 1806 update in console, ensure that your service connection point is online. Because the service connection point automatically checks every 24 hours for updates. One thing that i noticed was it didn’t prompt me that a new update was available when i launched SCCM console. A good number of hotfixes were released for SCCM 1802. If you have any hotfixes that weren’t installed, you can skip installing them and install SCCM 1806 directly. The issues present in previous update are always addressed in latest update.
