The latest Windows 10 May 2019 update proves to be something tricky, and users might want to wait until they get this one. It appears that the most recent upgrade comes with a strange rule: removable devices and storage are not allowed.
Microsoft already warned users that the Windows 10 May 2019 update will create some issues with USB drives and other similar devices. The Windows 10 May 2019 is a big one, and it is expected to bring some significant changes for Windows.
Pausing the Windows May 2019 Update
The latest Windows 10 update is supposed to solve some of the most common issues of the Microsoft OS. For instance, Windows 10 May 2019 update will be no longer forced, and you won’t have to take a break from your work so that the update can install.
The Windows 10 May 2019 update will allow users to pause feature and monthly updates. Once you break the update, the pause will take seven days, and the pause can be renewed up to five times. This means that you can do this for 35 days. However, after that period of time, you need to update to the latest version so you can be able to pause updates once again.
New issue with the Windows May 2019 Update
While Microsoft might solve some of the old problems, it might cause some new ones. As it turns out, the latest update won’t install if there is an SD memory card or external USB device attached to your computer during the upgrade. Therefore you must remove them if you want to get the latest Windows version.
“Inappropriate drive reassignment can occur on eligible computers that have an external USB device or SD memory card attached during the installation of the May 2019 update,” Microsoft explained. “For this reason, these computers are currently blocked from receiving the May 2019 Update.
