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.

    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.

    I don't understand "**It is better to wait v21H1 to be offered to you in Windows Update".**If the update is appearing automatically in 

    Widows Update and installing itself when I switch on then that is what's happening and I can't stop it. The best I have managed to do is 

    to delay the install. I am not actively seeking to download this update myself, it just keeps appearing automatically and wrecking my computer.

    I never ever had any problems like this with Windows 7, for me this was the best OS Microsoft ever produced, it's like the old saying

    "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

    I'll bring you up to speed to clarify for you what we are referring - to as Microsoft puts it.

    The Updates is not perfect, that is why there is an update to fix some issue/s.
    Major bugs/errors in your system occurs, when something is being changed in the Registry(regedit) that was supposed to be important to your system to install the update smoothly, aside from device incompatibility or issue.
    Update your driver/s... Unplug UNNECESSARY device, for the meantime...

    Restart & try again the update.

    If your machine is in Window 7, you should check your machine from Viruses & Malwares.
