Microsoft's next update is called Windows 10 2004

Microsoft's big feature update that will follow Windows 10 1909 is going to be named 'Windows 10 2004'. The name and numbering have been slightly altered to prevent confusion.

Microsoft changes normally are called xx03 and xx09, where 'xx' was entered with the last two digits of the year in which the version in question was released. This has been done not to cause confusion with, for example, Windows Server 2003.

''Eagle-eyed Windows Insiders will notice that as of this build, 20H1 officially shows it is version 2004. We have chosen to use 2004 as the version to eliminate confusion with any past product names (such as Windows Server 2003).''

@phoenixdot
yes and no.
i had lots of trouble too, after i installed it thru win update.
went back and restored to a previous image, and used the iso to do offline install.
and no problems since and fixed the issues i had (mouse lag/stutter when transferring data over usb, cpu load never dropping below 2% when idle on desktop)
