Improving the Windows 10 update experience with control, quality and transparency

While regular updates are critical to keeping modern devices secure and running smoothly in a diverse and dynamic ecosystem, we have heard clear feedback that the Windows update process itself can be disruptive, particularly that Windows users would like more control over when updates happen. Today we are excited to announce significant changes in the Windows update process, changes designed to improve the experience, put the user in more control, and improve the quality of Windows updates.

In previous Windows 10 feature update rollouts, the update installation was automatically initiated on a device once our data gave us confidence that device would have a great update experience. Beginning with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, users will be more in control of initiating the feature OS update. We will provide notification that an update is available and recommended based on our data, but it will be largely up to the user to initiate when the update occurs. When Windows 10 devices are at, or will soon reach, end of service, Windows update will continue to automatically initiate a feature update; keeping machines supported and receiving monthly updates is critical to device security and ecosystem health. We are adding new features that will empower users with control and transparency around when updates are installed. In fact, all customers will now have the ability to explicitly choose if they want to update their device when they “check for updates” or to pause updates for up to 35 days.

Windows 10 May 2019 Update has hit GA

UPDATE 5/21: We are beginning to make the Windows 10 May Update generally available. We will be taking a measured and throttled approach, allowing us to study device health data as we increase availability via Windows Update. This post here from John Cable provides details on how you can get the May 2019 Update, including update options. As part of our commitment to increasing transparency, the new Windows release health dashboard is now live, offering timely information on the current roll-out status and known issues (open and resolved) across both feature and monthly updates. Please see this dashboard for any issues relating to the May 2019 Update going forward.
