For everyone running a Windows 10 version 1909 Operating System (OS) you have already or soon will receive a notification in Windows Update about the new Windows 10 version 2004 update.
I would hold off on downloading the version 2004 because the initial d/l is a bit buggy with at least 11 significant known issues and quite a few lesser issues. The version 2004 will arrive in two different update releases. The initial version 2004 update (now) is a "Major" release" and another 2004 update will arrive later this year as a "Minor" release. Microsoft has stern warnings that you shouldn’t try to manually install version 2004 if it doesn’t come through Windows Update app. I was provided a choice of updating now or holding off. I chose to postpone the version 2004 update. btw: Microsoft won’t automatically update to version 2004 on its own Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 computers - won’t even offer it to "Download and install." There also seem to be major problems with version 2004 and computers running on Intel’s Optane memory. It’s a big update - 4 GB - so it won’t go down easy over many connections.
My advice is to hold off (opt out for now) and wait until MS debugs both the Major and Minor version 2004 updates.
