I'm always curious about major updates from Microsoft after a bad experience once. I have a notification to install Windows 10  Feature Update 2004 is available to download and install
Just thought I would run this through you clever lot -has anyone yet had any bad experiences with installing this latest update or is it generally 'safe'?

Thank you

    Translation 😎 if your computer is important to you defer the upgrade OR make sure you have a data and/or image backup.  If your computer is not important - go for it!
  • It has partially broken my mail and calendar app which Microsoft know about. Other than that seems to be fine.

    I have had no problems on the machines I have put it on. My very old tablet says it is not ready yet. So if you are goping th update route you have some clue if there will be an issue.

    Just after the latest update, my Brother 330 printer stopped working. Prints test pages ok, and computer seems to see that it is there, but nothing prints off.

    Two machines updated with no problems. On the third I am still getting 'The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is on its way. Once it’s ready for your device, you’ll see the update available'. Perhaps the machine is so old they are still looking for updated drivers for it!
