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.

    Hello,

    This is what I get at this stage of my windows 10 21H1 update. It autoselects to keep "NOTHING" and I cannot seem to change that.

    Can someone please advise me or help on this?

    Thank you

    Abraham

    My week with 21H1 (Just sharing !!)
    I updated v21H1 via Windows 10 Update Assistant from v20H2 on the 19th of May. I couldn't wait to have it.

    A week after the update using the Event Viewer, I see NO CRITICAL ERRORS but I have 25 ERRORS.

    And these ERRORS based on my research NOTHING is serious, its a MINOR GLITCHES.

    My snip & sketch of my event viewer

    Kernel-EventTracing is the "PerfDiag Logger" reaching it maximum file size(0xc0000188) it happens twice or thrice a day, but doesn't cause BIG trouble in my system.

    Kernel-EventTracing is the "PerfDiag Logger" cannot overwrite (0xc0000035) it happen sometimes, but it doesn't cause BIG trouble in my system.

    Application Error a gaming app, crashed but never happened again while playing.

    Application Hang it happens after I update the MS Edge to 90.0.818.66, I close/open it many times then it hangs but didn't happen again(semi human error).
    DHCP-client it is about IP Address leased, it depends how your router is setup(human error).

    DistributedCOM did not register with DCOM within the required timeout

    BitLockerDriver Encrypted volume check: Volume information on E: cannot be read.

    Windows Update automatically look for an update every day.

    Windows Defender run on schedule & scans every day.

    Overall assessment/s upon driving the road( v21H1) to Sun Valley is SUCCESSFUL & I am ready to accept & apply the Windows Updates.

    I don't need ANY TWEAKS & TRICKS in the registry. There is no need anymore.

    Came up in my mind, In 1.3++Billion Windows Users around the Globe, Am I one of the few who is special in the eye of Microsoft?(awes🤩me!!, if I am).

    How is your experienced with v21H1?Image

    That's right. I'm watching a movie, & will do the restart after...

    Image

    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.
