Hey all!
The new version 2004 is up and ready to download. Theres two methods to install it.
Method one:
Setting > Update & Security > Windows Update (selected by default) > Check For Updates (all in lower caps)
P.S if you not able to find any updates It maybe your windows version (1909) is conlficting with your updates. If this happens follow method two:
Method two:
Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 > click on update now to install (Windows 10 update assistant) > follow the instructions and wait for install to complete. (read P.S If you new to the Windows 10 Update Assistant software.)
P.S allow the software to download and install the new windows version one done a notification will pop on the desktop. Dont worry this is normal and the software will automatically restart your pc.
DO NOT TURN OFF THE DESKTOP OR LAPTOP WHEN IT RESTARTS.

The link under method two is for Windows 10 2009. Is there another link for Windows 10 2004?
Install the "current" update, the 2009 version. It's usually not "necessary" to have 2004 now that there is a later version. The features in 2004 are in 2009, with fixes. Just install the latest update.
The link under method two is for Windows 10 2009. Is there another link for Windows 10 2004?
hello sir, can i update window 10 now or wait till when all issue is fix
Hi
Thanks.
As I said, after hearing about the problems everyone is having; I have decided not to take up the optional update.
Your reply has been helpful.
Best regards,
Your lucky, ive lost everything and theyve made changes in the way they do updates, and appeared to have fixed the glitches. Alot of this has to do with the NEW Security Intelligence updates and the Defender Application and conflicts with Cloud and Toolbars.
I just installed the 20236.1000 update, and I had my first serious problem. It may, or may not, mimic your situation. I have 5 HDD's and 1 SSD. 1 HDD is a 1TB 2.5" in an enclosure. I mention that because, here's what happened:
I ran the update routinely as I have all of the other updates, and it ran flawlessly..., or so I thought! After logging in there was no desktop. I use 3 monitors and the backgrounds are managed with gPhotoShow, with a folder of pics of classic cars. Well, after logging in there was 1 '63 Galaxy 500, white over red, fastback, and it was on all 3 monitors. That's not supposed top happen. But what else was happening was a message "Please insert a disc in DVD RW D:". I also have 2 DVD RW in the system. But even more notable was that there were no icons on my desktop. I did a lot of GOOGLE searches, and there were MS answers.microsoft.com sites with solutions that were completely NOT helpful. So, I got ThisPC to display my drive inventory and I noticed something different. I had tried opening files from the icons in the Start menu, but I would get another strange message that the files (Word files) could not be found at D:\Documents\xyz". Before the update, D: was a 4 TB HDD that houses my OneDrive files. That drive had been renamed, and searching with the new drive letter wasn't giving me any love. So I opened Disk Manager and renamed the drives the way they should've been named, and now, all is well.
This may have nothing to do with what was going on with you, but I put this out there because it is update related, just in case.
