[Fix] Windows 10 May 2020 Update (Version 2004) Not Showing on Windows Update

Microsoft released the latest Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004, build 19041) to public in May 2020 via Windows Update. All devices running older versions of Windows 10 (such as 1903 and 1909) are receiving offer to upgrade to the new May 2020 Update from Windows Update.

But there are many Windows 10 users who are not getting the new Windows 10 version 2004 update on Windows Update. Whenever they click on “Check for Updates” button, Windows 10 starts scanning for new updates and shows “You’re up to date” message. So their devices are unable to detect the new May 2020 feature update.

If you are also getting tired and frustrated and are still waiting for upgrade to Windows 10 May 2020 Update, this article will help you.

Actually Microsoft has blocked some devices from getting the automatic upgrade to May 2020 Update via Windows Update. The decision has been taken due to incompatibility issues. Some hardware drivers are not compatible with the latest Windows 10 feature update and might cause crashing (BSOD) problems to users if the update is installed via Windows Update.

For example, some specific device driver versions such as Nvidia display adapters, Bluetooth, Intel GPU, Realtek, Conexant audio drivers, Synaptics audio drivers, etc are not compatible with the latest Windows 10 version 2004 update. So the feature update will not be offered to these devices via Windows Update until the issues are resolved.

Microsoft is continuously fixing these known issues by releasing cumulative updates to Windows 10 version 2004. You can keep an eye on all known issues using following official web page:
