Windows 10: OneDrive app prevents Windows 10 v2004 update for some users

Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004), which was released in the last week of May, is still not available for all devices. Various configurations have been blocked from installing the May 2020 Update due to incompatible drivers, hardware, and the update is also being blocked for some users because of their “PC Settings”.

As we reported recently, May 2020 Update for Windows 10 is being blocked for users who are trying to manually install the upgrade using Update Assistant or the built-in Windows Update settings.

Windows 10 is also telling some users that there’s a problem with their PC settings and Microsoft displays a vague error message within the Windows Update page or Update Assistant, which isn’t exactly useful.



This afternoon, I was able to successfully download and install Windows 10 May 2020 Update after uninstalling Microsoft’s cloud storage app. It turns out that it’s not just me as others have also managed to remove the upgrade block by temporarily uninstalling OneDrive.

“Uninstalling OneDrive allowed me to get further and avoid the block. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong and wasted so much time trying to figure out what Lenovo update/patch/hardware update I don’t have,” one user noted in a thread on Reddit.

After removing OneDrive, some of you should be able to upgrade to May 2020 Update using Windows Update, Update Assistant or Media Creation Tool.

To uninstall the OneDrive app, simply head to the Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program and select OneDrive.

You can always reinstall the OneDrive app after upgrading to Windows 10’s May 2020 Update and everything will be synced again.

It’s possible that the upgrade block stems from OneDrive known issue in Windows 10 May 2020 Update. Microsoft recently confirmed another issue in May 2020 Update where some users might be unable to access OneDrive or the synced content on some older devices where ancient apps are installed.



Microsoft believes that the OneDrive issue is caused by old apps that use legacy file system filter drivers.

If you still don’t get the May 2020 Update, you can try updating your device’s hardware drivers. You can also disable Core Isolation feature by heading to the Settings > Windows Security > Open Windows Security > Device Security.

If nothing works, you can download the ISO files of May 2020 Update and clean install the operating system.

In June, Microsoft noted that it has started training its machine-learning algorithm to automatically upgrade version 1809 computers to version 2004 and there are plans to further expand the rollout of the feature update.

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.
