    Not receiving the May 2020 update - should I manually update?


    I have an old laptop from 2013 and the Windows Update tells me for months now that I am going to get the May 2020, version 2004 update. all my other laptops/pcs already received it and already updated to 20H2.

    But maybe my laptop won't update because it's too old and it won't be fully compatible? Or should i just use the installation USB to manually update o 20H2?

    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 Manual Updates Management

    I have just installed windows 10. When windows 10 is updating (and only when its updating) there is a chance the system will randomly hang/freeze.

    This is very annoying and happens often but, only when updating.

    In an attempt to avoid this problem, I have decided to manually download and install updates.

    To do so, I have to do the following.

    1. Disable Windows 10 automatic updates.
    2. While windows 10 updates are disabled find and list all the required updates (preferable with a dependency tree of some kind)
    3. Download the required updates manually.
    4. Install the required updates manually.

    I was able to figure out the steps (1) and (3) (and I'm guessing step (4) is a simple execution)

    How should I go about achieving step (2)?
