Windows 10 May 2020 Update is now available to download, and to celebrate, Microsoft has made the odd – but commendable – decision to post a list of known issues with the update.
The list explains what known issues are with the latest update, and you should take a look to see if any apply to you. If they do, then it’s worth holding off installing the May 2020 Update until Microsoft fixes them.
Some issues have simple workarounds, while others are waiting for Microsoft to fix them, and are severe enough for the company to warn that: “We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until this issue has been resolved.”

Microsoft has had a bad run of Windows 10 updates recently, so you’d have hoped the May 2020 Update would have launched issue free. However, it seems that Microsoft has shipped the update while knowing there are certain issues remaining.
This is disappointing, but it seems the company was under pressure to release the May 2020 Update before the end of the month.
