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.

    How do I stop Microsoft from updating mu workstation? The latest update was for Version 20h2 which has given me nothing but trouble on another workstation and I am sick and tired of ringing Microsoft to get the problem fixed. **They can't fix it!!!!**I had a perfectly operating workstation and now it has been updated to V20H2 which has screwed up my worfkstation! 

    Please leave me alone, I do not want your updates they are causing me nothing but trouble.

    Dont  know when I got my Version 20H2, but for the last six weeks or so, my PC has been giving me lots of headaches.  In an attempt to fix things I accidentally reformatted my hard drive which erased all my files.  I have been trying to download the latest version released on May 10th in the hopes of curing a multitude of issues, but cant seem to do it.  I had previously spent hours with Norton because I thought that I had a virus.  I need my fix!  I followed the office assistant instructions, but cant get past the Settings.

    Your system has incompatibility issue/s migrating to Windows 10 v21H1.
    It is better to wait v21H1 to be offered to you in Windows Update.

    I agree. It's what Microsoft recommends as well.

    No blue screen of problems here, on a Dell Latitude E6530. You can see, on page 2, that it wasn't any succes, to take that update through Windows Update, but only a succes through the Update Assistant.

    Except that, I can't set the computer to auto logon anymore...

    The most recent update of Windows 10 Release Date: 5/18/2021 Version: Windows 10, version 21H1

    has done nothing other than produce the BSOD.

    Three times this update has slipped it's way onto my computer with the same result each time. I can get rid of the BSOD by doing a System Restore but surely 

    Microsoft knows there's a problem and should be sending out a fix for it. I have in the meantime disabled updates until 27/06/21 in the hope that 

    something might appear. Anybody on here having the same problems?
