On May 21, the Windows 10 May 2019 Update started to become available for users on an actively serviced version of Windows 10 who seek to update via “check for updates” (limited to devices with no known compatibility issues). If you received a message saying your device is not compatible, please check back frequently! We are actively working with OEMs and device manufacturers to address any incompatibilities with updated firmware and drivers.
We’re so glad you’re excited about Xbox Game Pass. We are slowly throttling up the availability of the May 2019 update to ensure all devices have the best possible update experience, and for this reason some customers may not be offered the update at this time. As our rollout progresses, we continuously collect update experience data and retrain our models to learn which devices will have a positive update experience, and where we may need to wait until we have higher confidence in a great experience.
We are constantly monitoring and working to improve Windows 10 quality, including how the rollout is going. Please check the Windows release health dashboard to see current/resolved issues and safeguard holds on devices. We hope you enjoy this new update and encourage you to tell us about your experience by providing comments or suggestions via Feedback Hub.
