[Nightwalker]

Good grief. How could they miss this...

Well this driver is from 2015, thats how they could miss it ...

1909 forever!

With 1909 I had File Explorer crashes all the time.

Neither AMD nor NVidia have drivers ready, so I would suggest waiting, unless you don't mind being stuck on a restart loop

I think that's the problem here, but it's good to see they're preventing installing a new version with such drivers issues.

It seems ESET doesn’t play nice with 2004. Installed to test. Upon initial scan it runs fine until it hits Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension_1.0.31072.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe\x86\maheif_store.dll. The first time it just scanned forever till I rebooted and the reboot hung. So I reimaged and reinstalled. Second time it hit that file the system froze. I’d say there seems to be a compatibility issue.

Everything is fine at my laptop with ESET/2004.

Wow, it seems DISM has multiple issues in Windows 2004. Maybe this article is read by many already but here's some news on it. Anyone affected by this one specifically? There's also the /checkhealth one but you don't hear a whole lot about that one.

Microsoft mitigates Windows 10 2004 known issue impacting DISM

Microsoft acknowledged and mitigated a new Windows 10 known issue affecting the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool used to service Windows images prior to deployment.

Yeah, the issue was with ESET and an old windows store app file.

Windows Update is actually part of the problem,

MS philosophy regarding drivers: If it not broken, do not fix it! Thus you get RealtekLAN driver from 2015 too,
though MS has the latest ones in the Microsoft Update Catalog

With 1909 I had File Explorer crashes all the time.

99% of the time, it is caused by the 3rd party shell, which you can disable using ShellExView - Shell Extension Manager For Windows

anything else that is worth noticing?

More free space after cleanup, even compared to 19041.1. I had 16/16 GB, now it is 13/19 (pagefile/hibernation disabled), it was 8/24 after the install.

This was supposed to be called April update, then they postponed it to first week of May then once again postponed to the end of May and still they haven't fixed some bugs, included Chromium Edge, new WS icon. I would say you're actually being too nice on them

The main focus of Microsoft is on Windows 10X.

Other things of note (this is Windows 10 Home):

• App & browser control menu (Windows Security) has been revamped.
  • Toggle for 'Potentially unwanted app blocking' has been added.
  • Exploit protection has been removed.
• Privacy
  • Voice activation tab has a toggle for 'Choose your default app for headset button press'.
• Search
  • Permissions & history tab has a toggle for 'Microsoft account' and 'Work or School account'
  • Searching Windows tab has an Indexer Performance section with a toggle to 'Respect Device Power Mode Settings"
• Language tab (Time & Language) now separates display language into the following categories:
  • Windows display
  • Apps & websites
  • Regional format
  • Keyboard
  • Speech
• Revamped network status page (Network & Internet).

They removed something from old Control Panel too and add it to the new settings app.

When is that supposed to be released?

 

[Digmor Crusher]

Windows 10x is for dual screen devices, something I have no interest in.

Not only.

Microsoft confirms Windows 10X is coming to laptops amid big jump in Windows usage

Windows has seen a 75 percent increase in usage, thanks to the pandemic.

It's basically a new Windows. The whole internal structure changed. The main change is that Win32 apps are going to run always sandboxed with a dedicated "partition" and users will not be able to access system files anymore since it is going to be on a different partition too.

When is that supposed to be released?

Can't know, everything got postpone because of coronavirus.

AMD just released 20.5.1, with support for Windows 10 2004.

Microsoft is notifying users if Windows 10 May 2020 Update is blocked on their systems

This week, Microsoft started rolling out version 2004 update to all supported Windows 10 users. However, if your PC is blocked from getting the update, you will now see a notification from Microsoft.

This feature is a great addition. No need to use any third party apps to track data usage by apps.

Microsoft starts notifying users if Windows 10 2004 is blocked

Microsoft has begun to notify users via Windows Update if they are currently blocked from upgrading to Windows 10 2004 due to a compatibility hold.

How to fix compatibility holds in Windows 10
Instead of having users run around looking for compatible drivers, Microsoft is working with vendors to release updated drivers that resolve any conflicts.

Once these drivers are ready, they will be installed via Windows Update so that the holds can be lifted, and the Windows 10 2004 update can be installed.

If you do not want to wait for Microsoft, you may be to find the updated drivers yourself, install them, and see if they resolve your compatibility hold.

The current list of compatibility holds and their possible resolutions.

Computability Hold	Resolution
Certain Intel iGPU drivers	Possible updated driver locations: Intel
Realtek Bluetooth radios	Possible updated driver locations: Microsoft Catalog
Conexant ISST Audio or Conexant HDAudio Driver	N/A
Conexant HDAudio Drivers	N/A
GameInput Redistributable	Uninstall GameInput Redistributable
Thunderbolt docks	Possible updated driver locations: Intel
Always On, Always Connected devices	Wait for Microsoft
Conflicting aksfridge.sys or aksdf.sys drivers	Wait for Microsoft
Nvidia display adapters (GPU) older than version 358.00	Download the latest driver from NVIDIA
Memory Integrity security feature	Disable Memory Integrity security feature

It should be noted that the above locations may not currently have updated drivers available for Windows 10 2004 and you may ultimately have to wait for Microsoft to release new drivers.

Well then, I wanted to clean install 2004 on my laptop with 1903, but since it has Conexant HDAudio mentioned, I better postpone it as well.

 

[superleeds27]

I forced the update using the download tool on my Lenovo S730 laptop. Everything seems to be okay so far.

Desktop is showing the your device isn't quite ready yet.

Same here. My HP 290 G1 MT comes with Conexant Audio.
