Who "got" the Windows 10 May update ?

[the_randomizer]

1903 is generally safe and stable. It probably won't break anything, depending on your setup.

If none of the features of 1903 excite you, it's fine to wait until the update is automatically pushed to your device. 1809 still receives automatic security updates and bugfixes.

I mean, it's working fine and is super stable for me right now *shrug* I can't think of any compelling features that convince me to update.

Unless it finally fixes the taskbar icon cache from refreshing randomly (taskbar icons will randomly refresh, never figures out why, it's random, no flicker, just refreshing the bar, it's weird), which I doubt will ever be fixed

For those who want it, the 1903 update should be available to everybody now.

Thank you for the Information.

But sadly still not on my PC.

And slowly I think to realize why:

Intel i7 870/Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo P1510 PC with Intel D2415 Mainboard amd 12 GB Ram = maybe in Microsofts view - > TOO OLD.

According to Microsoft, "1903 is available for any user who manually selects “Check for updates” via Windows Update." Out of curiosity, what happens if you try to use the update tool to upgrade manually (you don't have to actually proceed with the upgrade to see what the tool wants to do).

Hmm I see that they're actually giving you control over how and when to update, gee, took them bloody long enough for Home Edition users.

Is starts but I cancel it on the Screen with Update/cancel Update.I think it is better to make an fresh/clean install with the downloaded 1903 ISO than an Update.

It is the First time,the Windows 10 Feature Update do not apply automatically.

Thank you.

Yes, Microsoft made the right call with this one. In a nutshell:

1. Windows 10 Home users can now pause all updates for up to 35 days (seven days at a time, up to five times).
2. Windows 10 Pro users already had the ability to defer updates, but they can now pause updates too.
3. Feature updates (big OS upgrades) won't be pushed automatically for quite some time now. If you want one sooner, you can manually check for updates and choose to install it.
4. A feature update used to be installed automatically a few months after it was released. Now, your computer won't be forced to install a feature update until a few months before your current version of Windows 10 reaches end of service.
5. If you're using 1809, for example, then you probably won't be forced to automatically update to 1903 (probably 1909 by then) until November.

Thank you.

There doesn't appear to be any reason not to update using the update tool. If there's a problem, it will tell you. Such a problem could be keeping the update from appearing in Windows Update.

I don't usually update myself and I'm afraid of making mistakes again,that is bad luck for me.

 

[slaphappygamer]

an error occurred. my computer does not want more windows 10. ive tried installing it even through the "windows 10 update assistant". i have enough windows 10. my dell 3147 cant take it. the error? something about fastboot somethingsomething.

It's supposedly available to everyone now, but I still haven't got the notification in Windows Update. Nor do I have space for it, as my 120GB SSD has finally gotten to the point where I can't delete or move any more stuff and I only have 2GB free space. I could uninstall some of the bigger programs and install them on D:\ but that's only a temporary fix. I ordered a 500GB SSD that should hopefully arrive this week, then I won't have to worry about space on my laptop anymore.

My friend updated a fresh build to 1903 but found that doing so broke his Nvidia drivers. Had to roll back to 1809 to get them working again.

I still haven’t had the update on my desktop or Surface Pro. I’m not in any hurry to update.

Fresh install coming from the 1800s

I'm using a 2012 Surface and this is the best build so far for this thing. I started in the 1700's and Some time last month after a forced windows update I lost all control of the Wacom tech inside. It would only read as a tablet pc if the typecover were connected. No palm rejection, random driver failures, false ram issues and heavy wintab load. Couldn't update anything properly through WUD

Now everything runs better than the previous fresh installation. Smooth scrolling works better, UI is somehow softer on the eyes, device boots in 6 seconds instead of 8, Bluetooth devices connect before I see the sign in screen.

Wacom and Wintab services are coexisting without any issue. I have never ON ANY of my setups been able to avoid the almost .5 second delay within Zbrush and Photoshop but now its just gone. My strokes appear the moment I put the stylus to the screen. All week I have expected this update to kill the device but its so cool and responsive now.

I think i also have no "hurry" for doing it.
All works perfect as usual.
Time until 12. Mai 2020.

Has it been stable? No BSODs?

it's been stable for me and i've been using it for a couple of days, only hiccup i had is that it froze at 98% and i had to reboot my PC 3 times to get it to finish installing

i don't like the redesign they put on the search window though

https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/4465065/kb4465065-intel-microcode-updates

 

[Alexander1970]

Hello.

Updated today manually.
Great update,all is ok,even Classic Start Menu keeps settings and look.All hidden systemtray reminder icons stay hidden.Applications works all fine.Very satisfactory.

And why it does not work automatically....

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I've been using Classic Shell but to each their own, I wouldn't know

All ok works great.

 

[Asia81]

Ok so I did the update.
No problems before nor after the installation. The update has even solved an issue I had on 1803.
I did a clean and fresh install from Rufus and my bios launcher booting the usb key.
I finished reinstalling all drivers and programs, I'm good.
