Windows 10 20H2 update

Hi Blank,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

Windows 10 20H2 is in the last phase of testing i.e. Release preview channel. As the name suggests, it would be available this month hopefully.

Known and Resolved issues for Windows 10 May 2020 Update version 2004

There is no set date yet - as with all previous feature updates MS don't announce a date much in advance, if at all. Usually the only official statement is the one made on the day it is released.

What they have said is that a) its name on release will be 20H2, not 2009, and b) its full name will be the 'Windows 10 October 2020 Update (version 20H2)'. The source for that was Brandon LeBlanc who wrote this blog:

Windows 10 Insider Preview RP Channel Build 19042.508 (20H2) Sept. 18

So barring unforeseen last minute blocking issues we can be fairly certain MS want to release it in October. But for now 'when' is just speculation. As the time nears that speculation may become better informed, but there don't seem to be any strong hints or substantive leaks yet.

Bearing in mind that the 'May 2020' update didn't make it out of the gates until 27th May I'm not expecting 20H2 any time soon *Wink

Yes. I'm in the UK, two out of my six machines were offered it immediately it was released.





Not all machines are being offered the 2004 update yet. As with all previous feature updates, there are some known blocking issues for particular hardware/software. Affected machines are blocked from being offered the May 2020 Update until Microsoft have resolved the issues. Check yours against the list in post #1.

When an issue has been resolved, then the block will be lifted and it will be offered to those machines. Manually upgrading using the install media made by the Media Creation Tool bypasses the checks for blocking issues, you do so at your own risk. Safest to wait until it is offered.
