Windows 10 May 2019 Update Causing Issues For Some AMD Ryzen PCs, Fix In This item
A new Microsoft Windows update, a new series of problems, the QA levels of Microsoft are just astonishing. The May 2019 update has problems for users with AMD processor, as well as showing problems with Bluetooth and WiFi. The problems are not as bad as when the 1809 update was released but still rather annoying.
Installing the update can cause AMD Ryzen and Threadripper processors based system a headacke and crash because there are compatibility issues between the update and RAID drivers. Installation simply freezes on these machines as there's a compatibility issue between the RAID drivers and the update.
There is a simple fix and bypass available, download the latest AMD driver before installing the Windows update. With a clean installation, it is useful to have a removable storage medium with the driver at hand.
- AMD Users: download and install the latest RAID driver (found here), currently the one listed at 9.2.0.105.
Qualcomm WiFi and Bluetooth modules also seem to suffer from disruptions after update 1903. Here as well, the solution is to first update the drivers before installing the Windows update.

Sigh. Microsoft should really look into increasing the volume its Insider users. Give them incentives like Windows Store credits or anything. Get more beta testers into the process. Have more inhouse server builds in the program as well. For such a bug to exist in the release update is disappointing.

No, they use consumers for testing unstable updates, theres a policy that stops them using you as a lab rat but gpedit.msc is not included in consumer OS's.
Create DWORD: AllowTelemetry
in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection
value = 0
That will also stop unstable updates being installed.
But 0 only works in Windows 10 Enterprise, Education, IoT and Server editions, 1 is the minimum for consumers out of the 0-3 range.
I wonder if quality of Win10 will improve once they cut Win7 off in 2020.

Out of date drivers causing issues, this has been happening for every OS ever since the start of time.

What bothers me is that the changelog is always missing.
Most users could benefit reading a changelog and understading they cannot upgrade, for how much technical this can be.
If you tell me that windows 10 1903 has a new light theme, improved security and somehow a better browser, and you stop there describing the changes, i cannot guess you broke the driver interface somehow.
