Better late than never. After releasing the Windows 10 May 2020 update a few weeks ago to a select few of users, Microsoft is finally prepared to push it to more laptops.
When Microsoft first launched the May 2020 update at the end of last month, it just rolled it to some number of users. Everybody else needed to manually download the update but in the risk of experiencing one of the several lingering bugs that Microsoft had failed to resolve before releasing the update.
It's because of these bugs that many users, especially those with Dell, Lenovo as well as Microsoft's own Surface laptops, saw a note informing them that the May 2020 update wasn't quite ready for their system.
"Today we're enhancing the number of devices that'll be offered the May Update," Microsoft said on its update dashboard.
You may still find several known bugs with the update which are either under investigation or are now being actively patched. The type of may be the wherewithal to connect to multiple Bluetooth devices. Another problem leads to a stop error when you connect and disconnect a Thunderbolt 3 cable. And older Nvidia graphics cards with outdated drivers continue to be having problems with the new edition of Windows.
These are relatively minor problems that affect a little part of laptops, so Microsoft is ready to send the update to another batch of devices. In terms of which laptops will get the update, Microsoft didn't specify.
We do realize that Microsoft fixed an issue in which laptops using the Always On, Always Connected capability were randomly restarting. And yet, Microsoft still won't push the update to devices even after they install the patch with this bug. The safeguard hold, which affected Microsoft's own Surface Laptop 3 and Surface Pro 7, is expected to lift in the coming weeks.
"You may not see the update because we're slowly throttling up availability, or perhaps your device may have a compatibility hold to safeguard your update experience," the Windows Update team posted to Twitter.
Several laptop vendors have taken matters into their own hands. Lenovo did an intensive sweep of bugs affecting its laptops and outlined available fixes for most (although not all) of these. The May 2020 update caused trouble for a long list of Lenovo laptops, including some ThinkPad models.
Dell similarly tested dozens of its laptops, from Alienware to XPS models, to ensure that users possess a smooth experience after installing the May 2020 update.
Our advice is to fight the urge to manually install the May 2020 update, and wait until it gets pushed for your PC. In so doing, you'll have the very best possibility of avoiding any compatibility issues between your system and the update.
