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.

    But all still seems well so far except a bunch of junk in Event Viewer. I won't worry over that as yet.

    Edit: I don't like the way those say "preview", but now I've done the reboot & all remains well.

    I can't doubt what you say. Windows becomes insistent with updates. And I looked & 21H1 didn't show up in WUShowHide to even test that manner of blocking it. But now I've taken it. It fully installed (including the reboot) in 9 minutes, & looks good so far. I see no differences but haven't searched much.
