Windows 10 users who tried to upgrade to the latest update released by Microsoft are getting their pc blocked if they have plugged in a USB or sd card and didn’t remove during the update.

It seems like the May 2019 update which is in its concluding stage of test mode is still holding an issue of reassigning different letters after connecting USB devices or SD card. Window users are familiarized that windows release a letter to every drive connected, internal or external.

Upgrading to May 2019 might build issues with the title of the drives which sounds like turmoil already. Microsoft released a statement previously describing the complete issue with an example :

The upgrade to the 2019 Update has been inducted to those systems which have the 2018 Update installed already. This eventually has a thumb drive inserted into a USB port.

The plan of upgrading to the 2019 Update has been inducted to those systems which already have the 2018 Update installed, thus the thumb drive inserted into a USB port.

Well, this can be not the sole issue, the maximum downside is that duty assignment of drive letter isn’t confined to external USB and drives. Yet the internal drives are hit.

Reasonably this is the reason why Microsoft had to block the updates for pcs which have USBs attached to it during the update. Saying so, if you are eager to get the update sooner you ought to unplug your USB and additional external storage devices. Thereby begin the update process and set for the may 2019 update to be prepared soon.

Windows 7 and 8.1 users can be the victim of this issue and Windows 10 users seem unaffected by the same.

You can get rid of this by starting your pc into safe mode and disabling your antivirus which is the main reason for the trouble. In the absence of your 3rd party antivirus, you can manage Microsoft’s windows defender for windows 8.1 and concerning Windows 7 you can use Microsoft security essentials. The two will provide you free and real-time security for your machine.

However, if Windows Defender or Microsoft security essential does not meet your want to keep your PC secure, you can take the help of a different antivirus such as Malwarebytes for some time.
