Microsoft has recently hinted at big changes coming to Windows 10 updates, but that doesn\u2019t help the here and now – especially after a rotten run of bad updates recently. And now Microsoft has warned you must be alert again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Picked up by Windows Latest, Microsoft has confirmed that its \u201cnew final build\u201d of the big Windows 10 May 2020 Update is ready but it will ship with several known issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company warns that after the update, Windows 10 users will find Windows Mixed Reality, its platform for virtual and augmented reality applications with more than 2,500 games and VR experiences, \u201cmay not work correctly for many users\u201d. In addition, its DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) tool has problems whereby it may not report the correct status when repairing corruption on systems, and there are issues with text entry in some niche cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is Microsoft is working on fixes and, unsurprisingly, it is making fixes for Windows Mixed Reality a priority \u201cwhich we hope to release in early May.\u201d Despite this, Microsoft will continue the rollout of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update and anyone who checks for updates (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update) will receive it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does the May 2020 update bring? It\u2019s mostly tweaks and fixes (aside from the things Microsoft knows it breaks) along with upgrades to the Windows Subsystem for Linux and graphical improvements to the Settings and Task Manager user interfaces. So yes, it isn\u2019t essential and I would advise mainstream users stay away from it right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Microsoft does have (overdue) plans to improve Windows 10 updates, but with the platform recently passing one billion installations, the vast majority of users would be wise to remain cautious. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
