erpster3 Share Posted March 27 https://www.zdnet.com/article/what-to-expect-from-windows-10-version-2004/ Quote Based on Microsoft's previous release schedules, version 2004 should be officially available to the public beginning sometime in May, with a staged rollout via Windows Update over the next six months. or course, Ed Bott said that back in mid-Feb 2020 so things could change Link to post Share on other sites
erpster3 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet recently reported that 20H1 may come out on May 12th (aka. "general availability") https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-rolls-out-windows-10-2004-release-preview-ahead-of-expected-may-release-to-mainstream-users/ Link to post Share on other sites

I hear OEMs now are set to get the code May 5; developers on May 12; and general availability is slated for May 28. Again, Microsoft has not announced this officially and these dates may change yet again. Link to post Share on other sites
erpster3 Share Posted May 15 since MS did not release 20H1 on May 12 to the public (and I did not expect them too since they had to get in one more fix), it is looking more likely to be released between May 26 to May 28 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-leak-windows-10-2004-being-released-last-week-of-may/ https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/hardware-dev-center/updated-driver-shiproom-schedule-for-2020/ba-p/1154275 Link to post Share on other sites
JustGeorge Share Posted May 15 The more important question is: Are you sure you want to install it on release? Link to post Share on other sites

I've had no trouble with it since it released on the release preview ring so I don't see why not. Haven't really heard of anyone else having issues either with this one. This release also focused on bug fixes rather than new features. 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites

I've been running 20H1 since the final build was pushed out late last year. No issues, and there have been numerous cumulative updates. I expect smooth sailing on release day for once.

I expect smooth sailing on release day for once. 1909 was a pretty smooth release too and 2004 seems to have smoothed the process even more. I'm actually quite impressed with the improvements they're finally making with the upgrade processes. edit: the only issue I had after upgrading to 2004 was I had to reinstall one driver. and I consider that a work in progress driver anyway. It was the app that allows you to use the Steam Controller as a normal xinput controller outside of Steam. Great for using it with Geforce Now 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

NinjaGinger Share Posted May 18 I tried as much as I could so went back to 1909 and will wait and see if new drivers are released that cover it. That's all I could do. Link to post Share on other sites
kiddingguy Share Posted May 18 Maybe tomorrow (May 19) or May 26 (rumoured). The MSDN version is live, but not for 'regular' users. Via UUP Dump you can download the iso's coming directly from Microsoft's servers (see my thread earlier here on Neowin). No, they're not the same as the MSDN (checksum is different, because of 'custom build' via UUP). The preview/iso version of the Insiders build should be the same (no "official" confirmation on this yet), but also here the checksum might be different. Link to post Share on other sites
