Mine showed up in the queue just today. Took only a few minutes to download and install. As usual no muss, no fuss, all is good.

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.

2021-05-25T19:18:35+00:00 It will only wait so long before it _automatically_ infects your computer. I just don't get why, with all the years of producing OS's for the PC , how
Microsoft can let this thing loose on an unsuspecting public. Now I've been working around PC's from day one and I've never witnessed such
a cack-handed Windows update. I can just imagine people who are new to PC's and Windows just getting a whole host of Blue Screens and not
having a clue how to work around them. Thankfully I can work around them but I'd prefer not to, I just want Microsoft to sit up and take notice
of what's going on outside of their own little universe. This update is flawed and I for one would like to see it withdrawn until such times as it's fit
for purpose.

2021-05-25T17:54:08+00:00 I will try again, to morrow... But, I will still let it "hang" in Windows Update for some months... And perhaps, take it through the Update Assistant instead...
