Blocking the Windows 10 May 2020 update, version 2004, from installing ...

In my prior post here I inadvertently neglected to provde the URL for an article by By Woody Leonhard I recommended reading. It is provided below:

>> How to block the Windows 10 May 2020 update, version 2004, from installing

I get it. You’re bored and want to try something shiny and new. And look! Here comes Windows 10 2004. But think twice before marching your PC to the front lines. Wait while we see what problems lurk. Here’s how to sit on the sidelines for now.

computerworld.com

For users running v1903 or v1909 (and every Windows Home user should be to take advantage of defering updates for up to 35 days) this is the closing advice from Woody ...

>> If you’re on version 1903 or 1909, don’t click that link.

If you’re running Windows 10 version 1903 or 1909, sooner or later you’ll see a Windows Update notice (Start > Settings > Update & Security) like the one in the screenshot below.



The notice will appear in Windows 10 1903 and 1909 Home and Windows 10 1903 and 1909 Pro. (Yay!)

If you want to avoid installing Windows 10 version 2004, don’t click the Download and install link. It’s that simple. If you avoid clicking the Download and install link, you’ll continue on 1909 (or 1903) forever — or until MS decides it needs to push you off, whichever comes first. <<
