Everything New in Windows 10’s May 2019 Update

https://www.howtogeek.com/402569/eve...l-2019-update/

Windows 10’s latest update is the May 2019 Update, which is version 1903 and was codenamed 19H1 during development. It features a light theme, speed improvements, and lots of polish. There are no crazy new features like My People or Timeline. And it’s out now.

Microsoft previously called this Windows 10’s April 2019 Update, but it was delayed. The stable update began rolling out on May 21, 2019 and became available to everyone as of June 6, 2019.
There are a lot of changes/improvements - I've just finished reading through them before I update my laptop .....

I would recommend NOT updating yet anyway (until the bugs are located and dealt with). However, in the new release:

Big Changes to Windows Update

Microsoft announced it’s making big changes to the way Windows 10 updates. You’ll have much more control over the way Windows 10 installs updates—or not.

Specifically, Windows 10 will no longer automatically install big updates like the May 2019 Update and October 2018 Update every six months without your permission. Now, you’ll see a notification and it’s your choice when you want to install the update.

Don’t want to install the update? That’s fine. You can keep using your current version of Windows 10 for as long as it’s supported with security updates—that’s 18 months after release. But, once every 18 months, you will be forced to update to keep getting security fixes. This is much better than once every six months, and it gives you a lot more control.

On top of that, Microsoft will now let Home users pause updates—just as Professional users can—for up to 35 days. You must pause in seven day periods, but you can pause up to five times. And, after you check for updates in Windows Update, Windows won’t automatically install them—you’ll have a choice to pause the updates, if you like.
Somebody at MS has been listening .....

The last Win10 update completely knackered my installation of Office 2016 Professional. I had to repair it by re-installing it from the Windows website and putting in my user licence in order to use it again.

Bring back win7 I say. Win10 was just a way of stopping people using Office for nothing.

Update completed OK - 3 hours for download and install - 30 minutes for PC updates and restarts.

I don't have MS Office on my laptop so I can't test it.

For the first hour or so, the download may stick at 99% .....

I got the update a couple of weeks ago by going to to the Microsoft site and downloading the Update Assistant tool. I didn't time the download of the files or the installation time but I don't think it took that long. Perhaps just depends on connection and computer speeds.
