Neowin writes Microsoft will now let users know if the installation of the next Windows 10 update is blocked for their PC. Microsoft can block the installation of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update if a system scan detects known issues that can result in incompatibility. With previous Windows 10 updates, users didn't receive a notification and the Windows Updates screen showed a vague "You're up to date" message.

This changes with Windows 10 May 2020 Update:
If a system is blocked due to a known issue, the user will see the following message on the update page:

The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is on its way. We’re offering this update to compatible devices, but your device isn’t quite ready for it. Once your device is ready, you’ll see the update available on this page. There’s nothing you need to do at this time.
These systems will need to wait longer as Microsoft needs to resolve the outstanding issues first.
