The AchieVer Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Microsoft Announces Windows 10 May 2019 Update Microsoft has just announced that its next Windows 10 feature update would be called May 2019 Update and not April 2019 Update as originally expected. This is because the update would no longer go live this month as initially anticipated, but in May, as Microsoft needs more time for thorough testing before the public launch. In an announcement today, Microsoft explains that Windows 10 May 2019 Update would stay a full month in the Release Preview ring, and during this whole time, it’s expected to receive several cumulative updates for refining the performance and fixing the latest bugs.Public launch next monthWindows 10 May 2019 Update still launches as version 1903, which is an indication that the update reached the RTM phase in March – Microsoft uses version numbers that are a direct reference to the RTM compiling date, as the first two digits represent the year, while the other two the month when an update was ready. “I’m pleased to announce that the Windows 10 May 2019 Update will start to be available next week in the Release Preview Ring for those in the Windows Insider Program,” Mike Fortin, Corporate Vice President, Windows, said today. “We will begin broader availability in late May for commercial customers, users who choose the new May 2019 Update for their Windows 10 PC via “check for updates,” and customers whose devices are nearing the end of support on a given release.” While Windows 10 May 2019 Update would be first offered to users who manually check for updates, it would actually come with a new option to download and install the feature update separately from the rest of updates. This means that manually checking for updates would no longer get the feature update automatically, as Microsoft wants to separate the updates and give users more control. As in the case of the October update, the rollout will take place in stages, and the company says it improves its machine learning tech to detect issues before becoming widespread.

shorty6100 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 That's what they should of done last time and not dismiss the issues that occurred. Maybe Microsoft is learning from its past mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nIGHT Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 What they should do is to give the user the option to opt from the different types of upgrades. essential updates (security patches and device drivers), non-essentials updates (MS store), and feature update can be delayed by specified days or weeks, or even the choice to not install it. Users have been forced to resort to third party software to stop these updates from getting into their systems. It's pretty obvious users want to be in control of their system so let them be.

As a beta tester, I wouldn't have advised to do that on a live system for daily work. There is a lot of work still to be done on this version, but enjoy the bugs before they get fixed.

The AchieVer Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Windows 10 May 2019 Update: What, When, Why Windows 10 May 2019 Update is now a sure thing after Microsoft officially confirmed its name, but at the same time, not everyone knows exactly what to expect from this new feature update. And this is something that makes total sense, especially after the October 2018 Update fiasco when Microsoft shipped an OS update that lacked the typical refinements you would normally expect in a public release. While today we’re not going to talk about the new features coming to users with the May 2019 Update, we’re going to answer three key questions about it, as it follows.What is the May 2019 Update? When is the May 2019 Update launching for all users? And why is Microsoft launching the May 2019 Update later than expected?Read on to find the answers to each of these questions.What is the May 2019 Update?Microsoft no longer ships new Windows 10 versions, but OS feature updates that come down to a larger release which includes several new features and lots of further refinements. May 2019 Update is the successor to the October 2018 Update, and it is offered free of charge to users already running Windows 10. It can be downloaded from Windows Update just like a regular update. Highlights of the May 2019 Update in terms of new features include a new light theme, as well as Windows Sandbox, which is a new secure environment that allows you to run apps without making changes to your files. Sandbox works like a built-in virtual machine running Windows 10, but every time you close it, all changes that you make are automatically removed. Windows 10 May 2019 Update will land as version 1903, and this is a direct indicator of its RTM compiling date. The first two digits in the version number, namely 19, indicate the year when the update was finalized, while the other two, 03, represent the month. In our case, the May 2019 Update was finalized in March 2019.When is the May 2019 Update launching for all users?Despite the version number indicating that the development of this update has already been finalized, the May 2019 Update will go live for production devices next month. Microsoft hasn’t provided a specific date when the public rollout would begin, but only said it plans to make the update available “in late May.” Meanwhile, version 1903 will be offered to users in the Release Preview ring of the Windows Insider program for thorough testing before the public launch. The update will receive several cumulative updates as part of this last testing stage, so when it gets the green light for production devices across the world, everything should be working much smoother.Why is May 2019 Update and not April 2019 Update?The answer to this question is just pure speculation right now, but it mostly has to do with the additional testing that the company needs before the public launch. According to Microsoft’s original schedule, the company ships two different updates every year: one of them is supposed to be finalized in March, while the other one should be ready in September. Typically, the public rollout begins a month later, so we have April and October. In this case, however, it seems Microsoft wants to test the update more thoroughly, and this is one of the reasons the company decided to keep the May update in the Release Preview ring for so long. As I told you earlier this week, a bug potentially causing BSODs was only partially fixed in the update, so it was believed that Microsoft planned to release it despite the risks of fatal crashes. This issue, possibly mixed with others, convinced the company it’s better to wait one more month before giving the go-ahead, and this is how the April update ended up finalized in March but shipping in May.

Archanus Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 39 minutes ago, Karlston said: Don't forget to report those issues to Microsoft. Thank you dear mate I reported the most annoying issue: """I cannot remove PIN-Password. According to the "new system" is mandatory to have that """" I hope they hear me ... You know what bro??? ... It's really terrible that in April 2019, the bug of the Wallpaper Accent Color exist yet :S Test it if you wish: 1) Select a folder that have more than 05 wallpapers 2) Go to Settings, Personalization: Set the option to Change Windows Accent Color based on the Wallpaper color Set: Change Wallpaper randomly every 01 minute or less 3) Go to the Windows File Explorer, to a folder that have more than 100 or 200 files, go to the file that are in THE MIDDLE OF THE SCROLLBAR, Do Not Select any file. Only place the Explorer in the Middle of the Scrollbar 4) The Bug is: WHEN A WALLPAPER (AND COLOR ACCENT) CHANGES, IT REFRESH THE EXPLORER AND GET YOU TO THE TOP ON THE SCROLLBAR :S .... IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING, imagine you are seeing your family pictures and you are on the Photo 1000th ... and the FU***N Explorer refresh .....
