<p>Windows 10 continues to play a key role in how we learn, live and work during these unique times, and we want to ensure a high quality and reliable experience, while also delivering you the latest innovations. In mid-April, we announced the <a href="https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/04/16/getting-the-may-2020-update-ready-for-release/">initial availability</a> of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update through the Windows Insider Program’s Release Preview ring, allowing us to both monitor and improve the quality of the release. Based on affirmative preview feedback, today we are pleased to announce that we are starting to make the May 2020 Update available. In this blog, we will cover how you can get the update and choose when to install, and availability for commercial organizations to begin targeted deployments.</p>
<h2>How to get the Windows 10 May 2020 Update</h2>
<p>To ensure you continue to have a reliable, productive experience with your Windows 10 devices, we are taking a measured and phased approach to how we offer the May Update, initially limiting availability to those devices running Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909 who seek the update via Windows Update.</p>
<p>Beginning today, the May 2020 Update is available for customers who would like to install this latest release. If you are ready to install the update, open your Windows Update settings (<strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Update & Security</strong> > <strong>Windows Update</strong>) and select <strong>Check for updates</strong>. Once the update appears, you can select <strong>Download and install.</strong> (Note: You may not see <strong>Download and install </strong>on your device as we are slowly throttling up this availability over the coming weeks, or your device might have a compatibility issue for which a safeguard hold is in place until we are confident that you will have a good update experience.) Once the download is complete and the update is ready to install, we’ll notify you so that you can pick the right time to finish the installation and reboot your device, ensuring the update does not disrupt your activities. This new “Download and install” capability is available for devices running Windows 10, version 1903 or version 1909. For more information on the new user update controls and how to get the May 2020 Update, watch <a href="http://aka.ms/Windows-10-May-2020-Update">this video</a>.</p>
<h2>Semi-Annual Channel released for commercial customers</h2>
<p>Today’s release of the May 2020 Update (Windows 10, version 2004) marks the start of the 18-months servicing support lifecycle. If you’re an IT administrator, we recommend that you begin targeted deployments to validate that the apps, devices and infrastructure used by your organization work as expected with the new release and features. Windows 10, version 2004 is available through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Windows Update for Business and the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/vlsc">Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC)</a> for phased deployment using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or other systems management software. For information about the latest features for commercial customers, see “<a href="https://aka.ms/whats-new-2004">What’s new for IT pros in Windows 10, version 2004</a>.” For insights on how to update, see the Windows IT Pro Blog post on <a href="https://aka.ms/RemoteFeatureUpdates">feature updates while working remote</a>.

<h2>Keeping you protected and productive</h2>
<p>Given all the recent changes to work and home life, we are focused on meeting you where you are and helping you adapt to these new challenges. We have often noted that being on the latest version of Windows 10 provides you with the latest features, security improvements and control. This is even more true today. The May 2020 Update offers many new features that can save you time, make you more productive and help you have fun – in addition to further enhancing your control and choices related to updates. Find out more in the “<a href="https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/?p=174061">What’s new in the Windows 10 May 2020 Update</a>” blog.</p>
<p>We will closely monitor the May 2020 Update experience and share timely information on the current rollout status and known issues (open and resolved) across both feature and monthly updates via the <a href="https://aka.ms/WindowsReleaseHealth">Windows release health dashboard</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/windowsupdate">@WindowsUpdate</a>.
