Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. Beginning at about 2:15 PM Eastern time, #Microsoft's #Office365 services and Outlook started going down for users. Within minutes, users throughout the United States were unable to use their vital services.

2020-05-31 18:26:27 Windows 10 now lets you know if May 2020 Update is blocked

Windows 10 version 2004, also known as the May 2020 Update, recently started rolling out to mainstream users who manually check for updates through the Settings app. While May 2020 Update is available, that doesn’t mean all devices including Microsoft Surface will be able to download it.

Microsoft says that the feature update is being rolled out in stages and it won’t show up for everyone. This is because some devices don’t have the drivers necessary to upgrade to May 2020 Update.

Starting May 29, 2020, Microsoft has started notifying users when they can’t upgrade their system to Windows 10 version 2004, which was released to consumers on May 27, 2020.
