Microsoft blocks installation of Windows 10 May 2019 Update on PCs with USB sticks and SD cards

Microsoft has announced that the upcoming Windows 10 May 2019 Update contains issues that may prevent it from being installed on some devices. According to available information, computers running Windows 10 1803 or 1809 with an external USB drive or SD card when trying to upgrade to 1903 get error message.

The reason is reported to be a malfunction of the disk remapping mechanism. Therefore, the company blocked the possibility of installing an update on such PCs, although it did not completely recall the assembly. As a solution, it is proposed to completely disable all external drives during the update, you can connect them later.

At the same time, we note that such drives are used by many, so the problem will obviously be relevant, as well as its solution. Redmond has not yet specified when they plan to rewrite the code for the β€œfailed” Windows 10 May 2019 Update module to resolve the situation.

However, the problem itself is quite interesting. On the one hand, this error is actually not such, because you can quickly and easily disconnect USB drives without rebooting the system. On the other hand, the question arises as to how this happened at all.

This situation is much more serious if recall Microsoft's assurances that Windows 10 May 2019 Update should make Windows XNUMX more reliable and stable. For the sake of this, the company abandoned some of the innovations and focused on solving problems. However, as you can see, this was not enough.

Thus, we can only advise not to install build 1903 immediately after the release, but to wait a few weeks or even months. It is possible that other errors will β€œpop up” there.
