Microsoft has recently announced that the rollout of Windows 10 May 2019 Update, also known as version 1903, has reached another stage, as the company started training its machine-learning system to automatically update devices still running the April 2019 Update (version 1803).

The rollout of Windows 10 May 2019 Update started last month, and Microsoft offered the update to a limited number of systems via Windows Update.

At the same time, the company also allowed users to update their devices with the Media Creation Tool and with a manual check for updates if no upgrade blocks were in place.

Beginning with this phase, Microsoft accelerates the automatic rollout of the May update, the Windows 10 version 1803 will be the first to get this new release as the end of support is approaching.

“Windows 10, version 1903 is available for any user who manually selects “Check for updates” via Windows Update for all devices that do not have a safeguard hold. If you are not offered the update, please check below for any known issues that may affect your device. The recommended servicing status is Semi-Annual Channel,” Microsoft explains.

“We are now beginning to build and train the machine learning (ML) based rollout process to update devices running the April 2018 Update, and earlier versions of Windows 10, to ensure we can continue to service these devices and provide the latest updates, security updates and improvements.”

Windows 10 May 2019 Update comes with several notable improvements, including a new light theme and Windows Sandbox, which lets users run apps in a secure environment.

There’s no ETA as to when the rollout of the May update is projected to complete, but users are recommended to wait for the Windows Update release in order to prevent any compatibility issues.
