Windows 10 October 2020 Update arrives: Nothing that will drop your jaw, but we've had enough of 2020's fun surprises anyway

Re: Update blocking info

My 2004 update was blocked apparently because I had a Ryzen CPU and Motherboard. Not sure if it was the CPU or the motherboard though.

I tried to update to the 2020 install last night. When I got the notification the update was ready to install, I clicked "Restart" and the PC restarted quickly. Although the version does now show as the 2020 build, I'm not convinced. I didn't see any difference on the desktop, and the PC did not display any of the normal "Windows is updating, do not shut down" or "We are installing a new feature update" message.

Also, it took several reboots for Windows Update not to hang (it did this repeatedly, despite the Windows Update Troubleshooting wizard finding nothing).

When I get home, I'm going to a try a re-install, to see if that sorts the problems.
