My PC finally updated itself today, I didn't force it, to 2004.

I have recently done a couple of fresh installs of Build 2004, from a USB.  I have an old laptop that I will not bother with a fresh install on. 

 

I know there are a lot of variables, but can I ask how long the Build 2004 Update took?

I updated 4 of my PC's yesterday, one no problem,

2 had the icon in start bar showing Internet not

connected,like a little World,but it was,had to go

into registry to change a value from

(0) to (1) ,reboot

and it was OK, the other one had problem with

Bluetooth had to install new driver.

Hi,

 

From start to finish about 2 hours for me to update 1909 to 2004. I ended up with a Windows.old folder of 30.6GB and 230,000 files that will be deleted after a month unless I chose to do it sooner. This is running on a M.2 NVME SSD drive.

 

In case your Start-menu goes AWOL this here troubleshooter did the trick for me ...

Always worked good for me but I got a PC with a lot of memory and space. If you got a cheap or older one then maybe your idea is good. Your leaving yourself open for hackers though. 

 

I havent had a problem on any of my computers with win 10 ever since getting them. But all these computers are quite good with large m2 SSD's and loads of memory (32 gb) and and I7 processors. 

I have a HP ProBook 4530s with the following specs.

Never had any major issues with Windows 10 Pro, now with version 2004 - seems it does not need much high specs.

Simply go onto Disk Cleanup and click System Files, tick w10 upgrade files....and you have 30 GB more disk space.

Thanks.  My system has finally updated to 2004.  I will look at your addon later.

After the 2004 update, I found that the Task Manager was disabled.

Neither ctrl+alt+delete nor ctrl+shift+esc was opening the Task Manage.

After applying this procedure, it was brought back to normal.
