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.

I feel your pain. I have been trying to help my dad install 2004 since at least early July. He has a strong Dell desktop. The update starts installing and reboots his PC. When it the restarts it hangs at the Dell splash screen. The only way past the Dell screen is to power off the PC. I have tried Windows 10 windows update and update assistant with the same results. Very frustrating!
Its not a good thing when a corporation like Microsoft keeps releasing applications that destroy and or remove applications and or files that have nothing to do with an update, This whole thing in the more recent years about auto updates coming in and puts a bunch of junk on the computer that never finishes or corrupts the computer, the first issue for many was that 1909 issue and now this new update 2004, my computer has downloaded it at least 7 times all the way up to 99% and it still fails. Id say that your support team and testers need to check out these beta before release. The other issue Im having is Windows 10 coming into my computer and removing hundreds of files from my Microsoft Flight Simulator Application thats now destroyed all of the work ive created since 2007. Sure i can do a restore and then im stuck with all of the junk ive deleted over the last few years. Another issue ive observed is this tendency for Windows 10 tostep in under my ADMIN rights and tell me that i am forbidden to use an artificial intelligence aircraft that Ive purchased and from Just Flight and tells me in a huge RED background that I the admin has stopped the use of the app, and ive done the right click and i see i never did any such thing. I dont like the idea that Microsoft has walked in and sent code to stop the windows Media Player from burning and or copying any of my files for backup, its not like everyone has money to throw out the door for a solid state hard drive and terrabyte just because MS wants to force people over to a new unfounded untested application. Like i want XBOX on my toolbar and taking up my disc space with a bunch of garbage. Pathetic situation.
