Windows 10: 1903 upgrade to 2004

I am running Win 10 Home 64 bit Ver 1903 OS 18362.900 and since early July I have had continual problems with the automatic Win10 upgrades shutting down my printer. I have installed the KB4567512 "fix" and it doesn't help. I have uninstalled updates and that worked until I got another automatic update on 7/28. Since then I have been unable to use my Brother printer MFC-J270w. The printer is okay because I can run it from my laptop, so the problem is the Win10 updates. One solution might be me upgrading to Ver 2004 but I am not allowed to do that yet, according to my update page and what I read online. So, my question is: When can my 1903 upgrade to 2004, and do you think that will be the easiest way to solve my problem?


I really need my printer and all of this is beyond frustrating. Is there anyway to get this message to the Win10 update team? Is there anyone that works for Microsoft that gives a damn?

Win 10 2004 update No AMD graphics

Before upgrading anything else to 2004, I would suggest checking out the current Known Issues list.

There are several -

How long does the 2004 upgrade take using Windows Update?

A year ago I asked (and answered) the same question for 1903. Having just let Window Update successfully upgrade the same machine I used for those tests I can say that the answer remains the same. Times for each step were almost identical - over four hours from start to a working desktop.

My recommendation: unless you really need to see the Feature Update listed in update history, then download the ISO and use that to upgrade.

 

WIN 10 upgrade from V 1903 to V 2004

I recently purchased an HP Envy Laptop and it came installed with V. 1903 Build 18362.778, install date 03/17/20.

EDGE version is 84.0.522.44.

I have Windows Updates paused thru 02/08/21.

My Laptop & Windows & Applications are working just fine.

I create manual Restore Points on C drive & create USB Recovery Drives on a frequent schedule.

How long can I safely stay on V. 1903?

With the seemingly constant news of issues with V. 2004, how safe or stable is it to upgrade to V. 2004 as of July 28, 2020?

Thanks for any insights...
