From the Blog:

In the current environment, we know that you continue to rely on your PCs more than ever. As a result, we are initially taking a measured seeker-based approach to the rollout of the May 2021 Update. We are throttling availability up over the coming weeks to ensure a reliable download experience for all, so the update may not be offered to you right away. Additionally, some devices might have a compatibility issue for which a safeguard hold is in place. In these cases, we will not offer the update until we are confident that you will have a good update experience.

    (1) Was all working well with networking before 21H1? Since it comes in so quickly through Windows Update (9ish minutes all told), I think I'd uninstall it, then let it come in again. Then let KB5003214 back in too, & I hope all will be well. That's at "START, Settings, Update & Security, View Update History, Uninstall Updates"...

    (2) But I'm afraid I know little of networks having just this one computer. But I believe this 21H1 is working well with it because I can see my own computer in the Network folder of File Explorer after I switch to a Private profile...

    I switch to a Private profile by clicking the Internet Access icon in the Tray & clicking for the Properties of my Wi-Fi connectoid...

    In the page that opens, I set it to Private...

    Note: If File Explorer is open to the Network folder, you must refresh the page to see the difference.

    Is it going to fix the problem where it causes programs to instantly crash? because I cannot use such programs like device manager, system config, internet exploder (use chrome anyways), my rgb software and over half of my games..... where is that fix? I am really debating if I should just ditch windows and go to lennox... My xbox is going to be smashed in anger of microsoft forcing us into their s*** updates that are basically useless. Add more features that nobody wants...

    Search Services, scroll down to Windows Update, click on it, chhange Startup type to manual. Then you can check for updates when you are not busy with other things. Check each day so you do not miss Security updates.
