How to get the Windows 10 May 2020 Update version 2004

That's what I thought, so this will blow your mind...

Not quite (but it comes close). At least we now know why windows update isn't offering to download the 2004 feature update, it's already been downloaded, installed, and just waiting for a restart (and to fail again). The log files may hold a clue...

I would try the easiest fix first and work my way up: Windows update troubleshooter, then Dism's RestoreHealth and SFC /ScanNow. Should all that fail, then reset windows update.

I would expect the feature update to be offered again after a reset. If so it's up to you whether you want to risk trying it again.

Surgeries get botched, MS just screws up

And us poor users hose it up even more !!!!

It definitely is slower than pre-update though --OK maybe not significantly -- although at least Networking seems to function correctly.

I won't keep this on a Windows laptop -- I'll hang on to it as a Virtual Machine just to see if further updates fix it or break it more.

I think that it was a botched push. I'll be patient.

Probably for the best. There are bugs in the 2004 as released. Nothing serious, but my Home machine that got it successfully can't remember the last time that Defrag ran, after a restart it always says 'never run'. Also, Pro is missing its defer quality updates and defer feature updates options.

All is fine , only these nasty " ESENT id=642 " eventlogs and the defrag-bug ( never optimised !)............
I can live with these two bugs , so I will stay on 2004 .
