Windows 10 May 2024 Update Bug Reported By Microsoft

Microsoft has released a supportive document on its official site reporting that you will get an error if you are going to install the Windows 10 May Update when your computer is connected with a Pen Drive or SD Card.

This bug has been officially reported by the Microsoft Company itself. The main problem causing this issue is “inappropriate drive reassignment” when an external storage device like Thumb Drive or SD Card is attached to the computer during the update install.

Let’s Understand this Bug in Simple Language

When you are trying to install the Windows 10 Update with a Pen Drive connected to the USP port of your computer. This Pen drive being mounted as drive G or F etc (Depends on your computer system) reassigns itself to a different drive letter when the Windows Upgrade is completed. This changing location of the pen drive leads to update failure.

The following message appears on the screen if the update fails:
