The May 2019 Update for Windows 10 is right around the corner and Microsoft is pre warning everyone about a known problem. \u00a0In the May 2019 Update support document (available at\u00a0https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4500988\/windows-update-blocked-because-of-drive-reassignment<\/a>), Microsoft is warning Windows 10 users that have an\u00a0external USB device or SD memory card attached to their computer.<\/p>\n

If you have either an\u00a0external USB device or SD memory card your computer will receive the error message:<\/p>\n

This PC can’t be upgraded to Windows 10.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

:when you try to update your computer. \u00a0The reason for the error is that the new May 2019 update may cause inappropriate drive reassignment if a Windows 10 user has\u00a0an\u00a0external USB device or SD memory card.<\/p>\n

As of now, Microsoft will block the May 2019 Update on any computer with\u00a0an\u00a0external USB device or SD memory card. \u00a0If you want to upgrade immediately, before Microsoft\u00a0resolves this bug, there is a really simple work around for the issue. \u00a0Unplug any\u00a0external USB devices and SD memory card adapters and run the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. \u00a0Once the May 2019 Update is fully installed and you are back in\u00a0a working Windows 10 environment, plus your external USB devices and SD memory cards back into the computer.<\/p>\n
