Known as the May 2020 Update (and version 2004), this new version of Windows 10 is all about fit and finish. There's not a whole lot new here in regards to features, but there are plenty of changes and enhancements to features that have already been part of the OS for some time.

Microsoft's latest Windows 10 feature update follows the same yymm naming syntax as its predecessors (versions 1809, 1903, 1909, and so on). Microsoft targeted version 2004 for general release in April 2020 (yy=20, mm=04), making the confusing name inevitable. And let's not even talk about the even more baffling version 2009 or 2010, which will arrive in the second half of 2020.

Confusing names aside, this feature update has a lot to recommend it. Under the new Windows Update rules, version 2004 is optional on a PC that's already running either of the 2019 feature updates.

This release will be delivered as a full OS update, and not as a cumulative update like Windows 10 version 1909. This is because the changes at release are a little more substantial, even if that may not seem like the case on the surface.
