OneDrive Blocks the Update to Windows 10 May 2020 Update

The new version of Windows 10 that came out just a few weeks ago, 2004, brought with it a good number of new functions and features. Thus, users of the Redmond operating system can enjoy the latest news released by the firm itself.

This has been common for years, the almost constant release of new features to keep an operating system of the importance of it, up to date. The problem is not there, but in the constant failures that we find every time a new update comes to light, as is the case. There have already been several errors reported in Windows 10 May 2020 Update , but things do not end there.

OneDrive Blocks the Update to Windows 10

This new problem affects the arrival of the new Windows 10

And it is that as it is being seen now, a new component of the system itself prevents our equipment from being updated. Say that the Windows 10 May 2020 update or version 2004 , which was released a few weeks ago, is not yet available for all devices. In principle, several configurations have been blocked to install the new update due to the incompatibility of certain drivers and hardware.

This is something that we have already been talking about over the last few weeks. We mean that this is an update that is being blocked by some users due to their PC settings. This is something that is extensible both by manually installing it and using the Windows Update update wizard. Thus, those affected encounter a message saying that there is a problem with the PC configuration. However, this error message is neither too explanatory nor useful.

Windows Update

We tell you all this because a new component has just been detected that inexplicably blocks the arrival of the new update. And it is that now some users report that they have been able to download and install the Windows 10 May 2020 update successfully after deleting the Microsoft cloud storage application. By this we mean that they have finally been able to receive the 2004 version of the system after temporarily removing OneDrive.

Thus, some are reporting that uninstalling OneDrive allows them to go one step further when updating and thus avoid blocking. Of course, the reasons for all this are unknown, since it was originally thought that it was due to some incompatibility with the hardware. In this way, after removing OneDrive from the system, some of the users who do not receive the latest version of Windows 10 right now, could finally update the PC . This is something that could be done through Windows Update, or with the Media Creation tool.

Say that to uninstall the OneDrive application, we simply go to the Control Panel and uninstall it with the right mouse button. Likewise, the process can be carried out from the Windows 10 Start menu.

In addition, if necessary, we can always reinstall the OneDrive application after updating to May 2020 Windows 10 and everything will be synchronized again. Say that Microsoft believes the problem with OneDrive is caused by old applications using legacy file drivers.
