What is new in Windows 10 May 2020 Update version 2004 (20H1)

I'm ready to update to Windows 10 2004, but reading these problems with "data loss for users" has scared me beyond belief...

Is there any way to check if there was any data loss after I install Windows 10 2004???

That happened to some with 1803, didn't hear it happened to 2004 in same way but yes, a screw up is always possible, that's when a system backup comes into play. Do you keep any backups ?

Wow, you're that worried about it???

Aren't you worried about not having the latest security update for your PC?

Yes I backup my files, but it'll be very hard for me to search around my PC's files looking for files that are "missing" after I install the update...

Full system disk backup by for instance Macrium Reflect is by far most reliable and way to go.

Previous version still receive security updates for Windows and Defender so I'm not the least bit concerned about security issues. I am concerned about wasting my time sorting out issues due to poor MS software engineering.

Thanks, but is there another way for me to check if any of my files were deleted after I install Windows 10 2004 update?

Great, thanks!

Snafu with 1803 was limited to files in default or relocated Downloads folder. Only catastrophic upgrade failure can kill everything despite windows ability to revert to earlier build if this one doesn't succeed. There's always a concern that system disk may die or otherwise be incapacitated so full system offline backup is only guard.
Except for printing or otherwise saving file lists before and after and comparing them , I don't know of any better way to see what changes were made or if anything is missing after an update.

What does this mean? Is there something wrong with my computer than needs to change? I click on learn more and there are no answers.

In keeping things simple, it basically means Microsoft has flagged your machine as having "potential" issues with the "new" update, not that there's really anything wrong with your current configuration.

With that, and this goes out to everybody, keep a look out for new drivers and software patches coming down the line in support of said new update.

Peace:)
