Thanks...  In previous Windows versions (1909 & prior), optional updates would show as available in the Windows update section of settings.  Now in v2004 I had to click on the "optional updates" link to see it.  Don't know if that's the new normal, or it was like this for this big CU only...

Here are changes...can't believe this is optional  19041.423

With all those "fixes & improvements", you'd think it would be a normal update.  Maybe M$ isn't that confident...?  Waiting for the beta testers...?

Finally got the go ahead to update to 2004. So far so good. Will update if any problems arise later.

Security Update for Adobe Flash Player: June 9, 2020
 
 
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4561600/security-update-for-adobe-flash-player

 

Good luck.  I had some flaky issues during install and for a bit in the first few hours post update, but running an update and picking up the latest patches as well seemed to have fixed it.  That was about 2-3 weeks ago now.  It actually blue screened in the middle of the updating process during one of the reboot/install cycles where it's installing stuff before fully booting.  Seemed to be a GPU driver issue though based on the minidump and other than one bluescreen also video driver related (moved to the latest driver AFTER the update to 2004) it's been solid since.  The reboot since though was during Folding so I think I had a bad work unit in that case, it wouldn't be the first time one caused that.  

Only had some minor issues with gaming since 2004 and one issue with Soundblaster Z (had to reinstall drivers to get 5.1 back).  As far as gaming...451.85 solved that.

  waiting for beta testing - in the wild
 
I'm still avoiding 2004 - till things get to shakeout a little more

As stated earlier in the thread...my X299...only issue was Soundblaster Z.  After reinstalling the drivers...all good.  X99 and Skylake laptop are both flawless with 2004.  Mind you both have Realtek sound...

So far so good.

Thanks for the info, might go ahead and update.  I frantically hit the "pause for 7 days" button yesterday when I realized it was patch Tuesday.  Really annoyed they got rid of the advanced options for Professional where you could delay standard updates for one timeframe and majors for a different one.  I used to have standard updates on a permanent 5 day delay so I could monitor for news about botched updates since they've been botched so often.

All good here...

 Big patch incoming  KB4571744  Should be later today.  I will post as soon as made available.
 
Biggest fix is the SSD bug.  BUT...look at this fix list...huge!

Fine so far.

Still haven't seen 1744 yet, got 1756 yesterday though.  I'm on Win2004, who knows lol guess I'm not worthy of it.  I did see on MS's website that it was titled as a preview so maybe they're just phasing it in slowly.
