Intermittent loss of Wi-Fi connectivity
Some older computers may experience loss of Wi-Fi connectivity due to an outdated Qualcomm driver. An updated Wi-Fi driver should be available from your device manufacturer (OEM).

To safeguard your upgrade experience, we have applied a hold on devices with this Qualcomm driver from being offered Windows 10, version 1903, until the updated driver is installed.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903
Workaround: Before updating to Windows 10, version 1903, you will need to download and install an updated Wi-Fi driver from your device manufacturer (OEM).
 
Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until a new driver has been installed and the Windows 10, version 1903 feature update has been automatically offered to you.

Gamma ramps, color profiles, and night light settings do not apply in some cases
Microsoft has identified some scenarios where gamma ramps, color profiles and night light settings may stop working.

Microsoft has identified some scenarios in which these features may have issues or stop working, for example:
  • Connecting to (or disconnecting from) an external monitor, dock, or projector
  • Rotating the screen
  • Updating display drivers or making other display mode changes
  • Closing full screen applications
  • Applying custom color profiles
  • Running applications that rely on custom gamma ramps
Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903
Workaround: If you find that your night light has stopped working, try turning the night light off and on, or restarting your computer. For other color setting issues, restart your computer to correct the issue.

Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until this issue has been resolved.

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

Display brightness may not respond to adjustments
Microsoft and Intel have identified a driver compatibility issue on devices configured with certain Intel display drivers. After updating to Windows 10, version 1903, brightness settings may sometime appear as if changes applied took effect, yet the actual display brightness doesn't change.

To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on devices with certain Intel drivers from being offered Windows 10, version 1903, until this issue is resolved.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903
Resolution: This issue was resolved in KB4505903 and the safeguard hold has been removed. Please ensure you have applied the resolving update before attempting to update to the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903). Please note, it can take up to 48 hours for the safeguard to be removed.

Unable to discover or connect to Bluetooth devices
Microsoft has identified compatibility issues with some driver versions for Bluetooth radios made by Realtek and Qualcomm. To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on devices with affected driver versions for Realtek or Qualcomm Bluetooth radios from being offered Windows 10, version 1903 or Windows Server, version 1903 until the driver has been updated.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903
  • Server: Windows Server, version 1903
Workaround: Check with your device manufacturer (OEM) to see if an updated driver is available and install it.

  • For Qualcomm drivers, you will need to install a driver version greater than 10.0.1.11.
  • For Realtek drivers, you will need to install a driver version greater than 1.5.1011.0.
Note Until an updated driver has been installed, we recommend you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool. 

Next steps: Microsoft is working with Realtek and Qualcomm to release new drivers for all affected system via Windows Update.

Intel Audio displays an intcdaud.sys notification
Microsoft and Intel have identified an issue with a range of Intel Display Audio device drivers that may result in higher than normal battery drain. If you see an intcdaud.sys notification or “What needs your attention” notification when trying to update to Windows 10, version 1903, you have an affected Intel Audio Display device driver installed on your machine (intcdaud.sys, versions 10.25.0.3 through 10.25.0.8).
  
To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on devices with drivers from being offered Windows 10, version 1903 until updated device drivers have been installed.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903; Windows 10, version 1809
Workaround:
On the “What needs your attention\" notification, click the Back button to remain on your current version of Windows 10. (Do not click Confirm as this will proceed with the update and you may experience compatibility issues.) Affected devices will automatically revert to the previous working configuration.

For more information, see Intel's customer support guidance and the Microsoft knowledge base article KB4465877.

Note We recommend you do not attempt to update your devices until newer device drivers are installed.

Next steps: You can opt to wait for newer drivers to be installed automatically through Windows Update or check with the computer manufacturer for the latest device driver software availability and installation procedures.

Cannot launch Camera app
Microsoft and Intel have identified an issue affecting Intel RealSense SR300 and Intel RealSense S200 cameras when using the Camera app. After updating to the Windows 10 May 2019 Update and launching the Camera app, you may get an error message stating:

\"Close other apps, error code: 0XA00F4243.”


To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a protective hold on machines with Intel RealSense SR300 or Intel RealSense S200 cameras installed from being offered Windows 10, version 1903, until this issue is resolved.

Affected platforms:
  • Client: Windows 10, version 1903
Workaround: To temporarily resolve this issue, perform one of the following:

  • Unplug your camera and plug it back in.

or

  • Disable and re-enable the driver in Device Manager. In the Search box, type \"Device Manager\" and press Enter. In the Device Manager dialog box, expand Cameras, then right-click on any RealSense driver listed and select Disable device. Right click on the driver again and select Enable device.

or

  • Restart the RealSense service. In the Search box, type \"Task Manager\" and hit Enter. In the Task Manager dialog box, click on the Services tab, right-click on RealSense, and select Restart. 
Note This workaround will only resolve the issue until your next system restart.

Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until this issue has been resolved.

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
