Karlston Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is rolling out to more people today Microsoft released the Windows 10 May 2020 Update a couple of weeks ago, but still, very few people have received it. This is for a couple of reasons, but one of them is because the company is going with a very slow, staged rollout. Today, the company updated the release status page to confirm that more people are getting offered the update. The Redmond firm isn't nearly as aggressive as it used to be about forcing users to take feature updates. Once your PC is finally offered the update, you actually have to look in the Settings app to opt into taking it. If you don't check, it won't be downloaded. The only way that an automatic update will be applied to your PC is if the version of Windows 10 that you're on is nearing the end of support. Of course, if you were looking for the update, you could still get it. Microsoft has its own tools, such as the Update Assistant and Media Creation Tool, that you can use to force the update. It's just that now, more people are getting the option through Windows Update. The other reason that the Windows 10 May 2020 Update might not be offered to you is because it still has a ton of known issues. For those with things like old Nvidia drivers or Realtek Bluetooth adapters that need to connect to more than one device at the same time, the update will just be blocked. The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is rolling out to more people today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zanderthunder Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 For this known issue on Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 as reported earlier: On 5/28/2020 at 4:08 AM, Karlston said: Errors or unexpected restarts for some devices using Always On, Always Connected Devices with more than one Always On, Always Connected capable network adapter might have issues. It has been fixed on this month's Patch Tuesday. So expect that v2004 update rollout will be offered to Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 owners on Windows 10 v1909 soon, currently the hold is not lifted yet.

Yes , still not fixed, seems an App-problem . If you remove Groove and Film and TV the id=642 is gone , when you reinstall the id is back again !

No one asks why the hell those people don't use the new drivers and use something from the last decade, instead, everyone say oh hey Windows sucks.

Personally I only update Nvidia drivers when needed, and then only to the version that most people reporting problems with the current version say they've rolled back to. Currently on 430.86. That said, 358 is ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
