Windows 10 May 2019 Update may not install on some PCs with AMD processors

Despite the fact that the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903) was tested longer than usual, the new update has problems. Previously сообщалосьthat the update was blocked for some PCs with incompatible Intel drivers. Now, a similar issue is being reported for devices based on AMD chips. The problem is related to AMD RAID drivers. If the installation assistant detects incompatible drivers, it will warn you about it.

"A driver has been installed that is causing stability issues in Windows. This driver will be disabled. Check with the software vendor/driver for an updated version that works on this version of Windows,” the error message says.

As noted, the problem is relevant for PCs with AMD Ryzen or AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors with certain versions of AMD RAID drivers. Specifically, incompatibility is observed on versions earlier than 9.2.0.105. Microsoft adds that 9.2.0.105 and later drivers do not cause this issue, so the computer can get updated to the Windows 10 May 2019 Update.

AMD also clarifies that the May update introduces new device I/O control requirements for certain driver categories. Therefore, if the problem occurs on a PC with AMD processors, it is recommended to check the version of the AMD RAID driver and disable all USB drives.

Apparently, this problem only appears when upgrading from an older version. A clean install should work just fine.
