    Seriously advise everyone NOT to bother with this update yet.... Updated my PC and of course, now all my mapped drives to my NAS unit are now GONE!  Network connections can no longer see my NAS at all, and doing a manual mapping to any shared folder is no longer possible... spoke to Microsoft support and they told me "oh, yeah, it's a known problem...."  

    Microsoft.... would be nice of you to get your house in order before you go advertising updates like this... In this day of 2020, this might be news to you but many of us at home use whats called a "Network Access Storage" unit which we map drives too....  you may not know about them but they are pretty common and people tend to get very annoyed when  they loose access to them.... and another thing, might be nice of you to advise any potential build 2004 customers this is an issues ESPECIALLY if you know about it.

    Once again Microsoft, yet another buggy update pushed out..... bravo

    the ms defrag program (dfrgui.exe) in the May 2020 update keeps forgetting its "status" after a restart or reboot.

    Easy steps to reproduce the "defrag" app problem in v2004:

    1.  Run the dfrgui.exe file (or look for the option to "defragment and optimize drives" in the Start menu)

    2.  Choose any drive (like the C: drive) and click on the Analyze button and wait for it to complete its analysis.  write down & remember its status

    3.  Close the defrag program and restart the computer.

    4.  After the windows desktop loads, run the dfrgui.exe file again.

    Expected result > the ms defrag program should display the current fragmentation percentage and last run status

    Actual result > the ms defrag program shows its status as "never run" when in fact it was previously run and also forgets the fragmentation percentage

    this is one of the issues that was not documented in the known issues for Windows 10 version 2004 and there could be other issues out there that were not reported
