Last month, Microsoft announced that a major update to the Windows 10 (2004) software platform, which is due to be publicly available in May this year, has been completed, and has recently become available to insider members. Now the source says that the launch of the update is postponed because the developers want to eliminate the zero-day vulnerability before the official release.

Windows 10 May 2020 Update

According to available data, Microsoft intended to make the Windows 10 May 2020 Update available to OEMs on April 28, and on May 12 it was planned to begin its universal distribution to end-users. The source reports that the update launch dates were postponed due to the fact that the developers discovered a zero-day vulnerability that must be fixed before the official launch. According to the revised launch dates, Windows 10 (2004) will be available to OEMs on May 5, developers on May 12, and regular users will be able to install the update starting May 28.

Microsoft will not add any new features to Windows 10 (2004), but it is possible that the developers will fix some other problems that are already known. Most likely, the mentioned vulnerability will be fixed in the next few days, but Microsoft will not rush to launch the update to test the fix on insiders. This means that the Windows 10 May 2020 Update will begin to spread everywhere no earlier than the third week of May.
