Windows 10: Windows 10 May 2020 Update to begin rolling out next week

Windows 10 May 2020 Update has been rumoured to begin rolling out at some point in late May and it could launch as early as next week, according to reports.

Microsoft has already pushed the May 2020 Update to PC manufacturers, developers, and testers in the Release Preview ring of its Windows Insider beta testing program.

The May 2020 Update should become available between May 26 and May 28, but it won’t be installed automatically as Microsoft will be taking extra care to ensure it avoids another disastrous rollout.

Initially, only ‘seekers’ will get Windows 10 version 2004, meaning those who manually check for it under Windows Update.

PC manufacturers and chipmakers are also preparing necessary drivers for the May 2020 Update.

Intel has already released DCH GPU driver with support for May 2020 Update. AMD and Nvidia are also planning to update their GPU drivers later this month or next month.



Instead of pushing new drivers to all devices in the ecosystem right away, Microsoft is planning to roll out driver updates “gradually”, similar to how Windows 10 updates are released to a small subset of devices at first.

This gradual rollout approach applies only to drivers released via Windows Update by PC makers such as HP, Asus, etc.

In January, Microsoft also revealed that OEMs may request Windows Update blocks for their devices if they find out that drivers installed in the existing systems are incompatible with a particular feature update such as May 2020 Update.

If your device driver is found incompatible, May 2020 Update won’t show up when you check for updates next week.

Known issues in the update


Last month, May 2020 Update has had four known issues. At least three known problems have been cured and marked as resolved in a latest cumulative update, which was released to testers last week, but there is one unresolved bug that might be a problem for those who frequently use the DISM tool.

Windows 10’s May Update has a known issue where Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool will incorrectly report the status.

DISM is a command-line tool and it is frequently used to fix issues with Windows system image, but a bug in May 2020 Update prevents DISM from reporting the correct corruption status.

Microsoft confirmed that DISM issues won’t be fixed before the May 2020 Update is rolled out:

“We are aware of an issue where using the DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) tool to repair corruption on systems running the May 2020 Update does not always report the correct status. This will be fixed in an upcoming servicing release,” the company said.

DISM issues will be fixed with a subsequent patch in June.

Microsoft is also planning to release another patch in June that would turn on a new tablet experience.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update problems and complaints

• Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update

Windows 10 forced download

I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
