Windows10 2004 finally came out on May 27 with plenty ofnew features. It introduced a much-revampedCortanaapp with enterprise-oriented capabilities, reserved storage improvements, and even the ability to troubleshoot your PC in safe mode by signing in viaWindowsHello.
ButWindows10 2004 installation didn’t go smoothly for some users. Multiple issues caused (and still are causing) update failure, with Microsoft putting many of the affected devices on acompatibility hold.
An Intel Optane memory is the latest to affect users of theWindows10 May 2020 Update.
According toWindows Latest,the microchip maker acknowledged the existence of the compatibility issue.
Intel to fix the Windows 10 2004 Optane memory issue
An Intel spokesperson who spoke withWindowsLatest confirmed that the company, in partnership with Microsoft, is developing a solution.
On May 31, 2020, Microsoft acknowledged the problem after a user had tweeted about it.
The company confirmed the likelihood that the Intel Optane may be incompatible with the May 2020 update. It also suggested to the user that installing the latest Intel driver for the hardware might help.
According to Intel, it appears the Optane memory compatibility issue hasn’t affected a lot of users, though.
The company’s spokesperson added that users of Optane SSDs or server products didn’t experience the issue.
As a rule of thumb, you can always uninstall any application that causes compatibility problems with otherwise healthy hardware or hardware drivers. That can be an option as you wait for Intel and Microsoft to roll out a permanent solution.
Alternatively, users that have noticed an Optane M10 or H10issueafter updating to Windows 10 2004 can try to repair the system.
To do that, go toPrograms and Featuresand chooseIntel Optane Pinning Explorer Extensions. Next, clickRepair.
