Unfortunately this 6 month old bug is still unfixed:

Is it safe to download 2004 now?
I have a notebook I need to reinstall for my friend's son, but I hate to put 1909 in there knowing 2004 is going to be released in two weeks or something, and especially knowing an upgrade would erase all customized settings, reinstall default apps and other annoying crap.

Fuck you Microsoft I guess...

Can't download anything from there, which kind of doesn't surprise me.
But FFS!

NO, Octopuss! :mad:

Win10 v2004 has not even reach the Release Preview ring yet - it's still in the Slow ring for almost 4 straight months (they're doing things a little differently with 2004/20H1 than with 1903/19H1 last year)
we don't when MS will exactly release 2004/20H1 to the general public since they have been radio silent on that matter

1904 is still the better option. There are no outstanding security issues and only a few minor bugs that have not be fixed because they don't affect much.

Isn't there a bug of defrag not working?

That's what's keeping me off.

do you mean 1903 instead of 1904?
support for 1903 will end on December 2020 - noted on the Windows Lifecycle Fact Sheet page.
but at least for 1809 home/pro users, they get to receive new updates until November 2020 instead of MS ending support for 1809 home & pro in May 2020 because of this

MS had released a bunch of security updates today 4/14 for many Win10 versions.
And v2004/20H1 also got a new build today - 19041.207

thanks Drone.
Version 2004 has just made it onto the Release Preview ring as of Thursday April 16 afternoon (ah yay! :D ):

next up, 2004 ISOs (likely with 19041.207) released to MSDN subscribers first; then general public release sometime in May

more like general release of v2004 near the END of May - build 19041.208 has just reached the Release Preview ring as of Thursday April 30:

We are continuing to work on getting the Windows 10 May 2020 Update (20H1) ready for release. Today we are releasing Build 19041.208 to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring. While we originally thought that Build 19041.207 would be the final build, we made the decision to take in one more fix we felt was important to have before making the May 2020 Update generally available. We believe that Build 19041.208 is the new final build and still plan on continuing to improve the overall experience of the May 2020 Update on customers’ PCs as part of our normal servicing cadence.

How is it the final build when they will release it during may? Does that mean they won't update it until they release it?

any additional updates wont be packaged internally and would come via win update after that

those additional changes and tweaks need time for testing, too.

Incase anyone ever wants to utilize WDS I created a script that will pull boot.wim and install.esd

The it will let you choose the version and it will conver the esd to wim so you can import it into WDS.

Code:
@echo off
SET build=1.0
title MCT + WDS update tool (BETA) v%BUILD%

:: Lets set our variables, always set them before work blocks.
set prokey=W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX

:checkPrivileges
:: Check for Admin by accessing protected stuff. This calls net(#).exe and can stall if we don't kill it later.
NET FILE 1>nul 2>&1 2>nul 2>&1
if '%errorlevel%' == '0' ( goto ask) else ( goto getPrivileges )

:getPrivileges
:: Write vbs in temp to call batch as admin.
if '%1'=='ELEV' (shift & goto ask)                           
for /f "delims=: tokens=*" %%A in ('findstr /b ::- "%~f0"') do @Echo(%%A
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
set "batchPath=%~0"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\OEgetPrivileges.vbs"
Echo UAC.ShellExecute "!batchPath!", "ELEV", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\OEgetPrivileges.vbs"

It downloads and utilizes the Media Creation Tool, so the software is untampered with from MS.

I then delete and cleanup files after its done, leaving you with only the wims you want/need

Its a little cheat of mine when im doing WIM updates, since I dont bother doing DISM servicing, since I do the rest via MDT or via GPO.

Updated for build 2004 if anyone wants untouched wims for WDS/MDT

Code:
@echo off
