How can I view which safeguard IDs holding windows 10 updates?

themisir · 14 Dec 2020

I'm currently using Windows 10 version 1909. I wanted to upgrade windows to 2004 but unfortunately my device driver have issues with newer versions. I've checked https://aka.ms/wrh-2004 page to check current status and I saw that the driver that holds updates have patched and the safeguard hold was disabled. But after a few days I haven't received 2004 yet. The "Feature update for windows 10" message is still there.

Is there a way to see which safeguard IDs are holding updates so I can check for updates for that specific driver or software, or try to fix it?

Thanks :)

If you make an image backup beforehand, you can download the ISO file for 2004, mount it and run setup.exe from the root of that mounted volume. If anything goes wrong, you can restore the image backup. If nothing goes wrong, you will be running 2004. There's a batch file that will let you pick exactly which version you want to download from Microsoft's servers (including 2004). Read about it here at TenForums: Download Windows 10 ISO File from Microsoft (see option 6, or check out this batch file from AveYo: Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper for all MCT Windows 10 versions from 1507 to 20H2 with business (Enterprise) edition support . GitHub).

A day after posting this post I've received 20H2 update.

So the fix is: just waiting.
