I have asked about 2004 on a couple of occasions but each time I was advised to hang on for a while.

Is now the time to install, is 2004 now stable?

Please see attached which has appeared on the Updates screen.

Hello

It seems that Win 10 version 2004 isn't there yet.. Some people are still having issue's.. Given the the slow pace MS comes up with a fix,if we compare how long the 1903 version took,it may be a while..
 
Supposedly if the update is offered then it’s OK for your PC. Personally I would wait unless you have an image backup which you can return to after the 10 day limit to restore the previous version.

Bastet/vger,
Thanks for responses - guess I'll just hang on a bit longer!

(Just out of interest, if I did install, would any issues show fairly quickly, or not necessarily?)
 
Tbh the issues may either show instantly, after day or so or even after a restart of the PC.
On top of this if you Malwarebytes then there’s also an incompatibility with 2004 & this which is slowing PCs down to a crawl. This affected me & thought it was 2004 so restored 1909 & upgraded again several times to try & fix Windows.
The only problem I’ve noticed is that my Synaptics touchpad doesn’t have a power tab under Mice (but is listed under Mice) but now is under HID devices, however the ‘use this device to wake the pc’ is greyed out, I don’t know whether this is a new bug or a problem with my PC.
 
I've put Win10 v2004 on maybe a dozen PC's so far and have had no issues with it.
there is (or was?) the MBAM issue but I thought the latest MBAM v4.1.2 was suppose to address that.

and if this is the latest list of known issues Win10 v2004; https://wccftech.com/and-it-begins-all-the-windows-10-version-2004-known-issues-list/ then your reasoning to install or not install is based on whether you think any of those problems would effect you.
 
Bruce/Bastet/vger,

I decided to install 2004 and monitor it for about a week.
No issues when I restarted, and all seems OK at the moment.
(I can always revert to 1909 within 10 days if I find any issues)

Please keep this open for 6-7days and I will report back.

Here's hoping 😒
 
Reporting back as promised.

Installed Windows 2004 about 7 days ago.
I've not encountered any issues - presumably all is well?

One last question - when the 10 roll back period has lapsed, is there any need to hang on to the windows.old folder?
 
nope. only ever required if you think you want to rollback, which is only a 30 day window of opportunity anyway.
most cleanup software like CCleaner and MS's own Storage will handle that for you.
