How to get the Windows 10 May 2020 Update version 2004

DTlite4471 work without problems in win10 from 1511 to 2004. Each feature update (except 1909 I think) uninstalls them. New installation requires shim db correction. And every 6 months the whole circus repeats again. Do you think this is normal?

As far as daemon tools is concerned -- I assumed this program hasn't been needed since Windows 7 days as things like iso's etc (virtual drives) have been internal to "bog standard" Windows since Windows 8 --so not sure what it brings to the table. For an ISO -- in file explorer just right mouse click on the iso and choose mount --or simply just click on the iso and it will automatically mount as a virtual DVD drive.

What about cue/bin images of Compact Disc Digital Audio - Wikipedia disks; don't you remember?

There is no precise figure available for that.

The ISO is what's called a canonical build, an install set that contains full copies of all the system files. By 'direct download' I presume you mean allowing Windows Update to download and install the update. This uses the Unified Update Platform (UUP) which works somewhat differently. How big your download will be depends on how up to date is the build that you are updating from.

An update on Unified Update Platform (UUP) for Windows 10

As a rule of thumb, expect about 35% less than the size of the canonical build. So if the ISO for x64 2004 is 3.9GB, then it could about 2.5GB. It's not possible to be any more precise than that.

Thanks for the info.

cue tools works just fine -- so does mounting a standard ripped audio CD to an iso and play with any decent media player

standard copied cd audio disk to iso appears when the iso is mounted as track1.cda, track2.cda track3.cda etc.
even the old winamp can tag an audio iso copied CD mounted in W10 -- it just uses the built in gracenote api to get the CD tracks from the cd identifier.

I ripped 1000's of old CD's this way -- ripped first to standard audio iso and then used winamp to tag the tracks and save as flac. Using the iso from HDD was a zillion times faster and more accurate than ripping a CD directly in the first place -- since sometime sold CD's would throw up errors, then need some manual cleaning and then another go. By using isos also you could multi -task the ripping sppeding up the process considerably --!!.

Not sure about SACD format though --don't have any of those.

Hi folks

4 things I notice from the update

1) Networking (discovery of Non Windows devices e.g NAS servers) appears to be fixed in the network browser in file explorer compared with this build when it was released to some people a while ago via insider release(s).

2) no watermark or expiry date

3) language hosed up again -bits and pieces in mixed languages etc.

4) seems to run really slowly compared with before the update -- OK I haven't measured anything specific but a user can tell if a system isn't running fast -- e.k slight keyboard lag, missing letter when typed, video scroll has some "lag" etc.

Maybe Ms has added some debugging bits in it which get sent to them from time to time.

Version is marked as version 2004 build 19041.264

Cheers

Hi, I don't know how to make a suggestion to MS, I know there are a lot of MVPs here so I leave my suggestion here.
They put the temperature of the GPU but not the CPU! It's a detail but it's more important the CPU temperature, in the task manager they only put the GPU temperature.

Again and again and again...
CD-DA image (cue/bin) IS NOT an ISO file. No way to mount it directly (NOT TO RIP IT) in Windows without Daemon tools or similar utility.
