Microsoft is starting to roll out the May 2019 Windows 10 update, which includes a new "light mode," quick access to Japanese kaomoji, and a sandbox security feature available to Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise users. However, the update may not arrive immediately on your PC. Microsoft is taking a "measured and throttled approach" with the May release after a buggy version of the October 2018 Update caused some users to lose their files. The incident prompted Microsoft to develop a new dashboard to keep users informed about reported issues with the latest updates. To download the May update, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Then select Check for updates. The May 2019 update (Windows 10, version 1903) will appear, which you can then download and install. The process will work in the background until Windows sends a final notification, at which point you can pick when to complete the installation with a system reboot. Another way to download the update is to go to the Windows 10 search box and type in "Windows Update." It should bring you to the same update menu. If you don't see the May 2019 update option, you'll just have to wait. The truly impatient can download Windows 10 preview builds through the Windows Insider Program, although you'll first need to register. Then head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program and click the "Get Started" button. OS updates can be a hassle, but eventually your PC will automatically install them. The Windows 10 April 2018 Update will reach its end of service in November. So in June, Microsoft will begin updating PCs running the April 2018 Update and earlier to ensure they have the latest security updates and improvements. "We are starting this machine learning (ML)-based rollout process several months in advance of the end of service date to provide adequate time for a smooth update process," the company said in a blog post.
