Click ‘Update Now’

If Microsoft’s finds your device as being compatible to the Windows 10 May 2019 update, the next button will let you start the upgrade.

And if you encounter an error during download, do check for ‘BattlEye’ as Microsoft has started blocking devices running older versions of the BattlEye anti-cheat software installed. Thus, if an error pops up saying you can’t upgrade, check for games that need an update. On the other hand, you can also uninstall BattlEye (removal .exe tool) and then restart your game to get the latest version.

Do keep in mind there is no USB storage devices such as an external USB device or SD memory card attached during the installation of the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, the company has included an unusual block in this update.

If you’re still unlucky to get the update, go to Microsoft’s new Windows release dashboard that lists known issues and offers a solution on the rollout of the Windows 10 May 2019 Update.
