Windows 10 now lets you know if your device isn't ready for the May 2019 Update

A new notification will appear on Windows 10 devices that aren't ready to receive the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (via WindowsLatest). Windows 10 version 1903, also known as the May 2019 Update, recently became available to people who manually checked for an update through the Windows Settings app. While the update is available, that doesn't mean all devices will be able to download it. This is because some hardware isn't supported and some devices don't have the drivers necessary to update to Windows 10 version 1903.

If you manually check for an update on an unsupported device, you'll see this prompt:

The Windows 10 May 2019 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."

This is a useful clarification as many users have expressed frustration and confusion regarding the availability of the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. Now, they'll receive a clearer message that their device isn't currently able to receive the update.

Microsoft has also stated in a doc that machine learning is being used to improve the rollout process stating:

We are now beginning to build and train the machine learning (ML) based rollout process to update devices running the April 2018 Update, and earlier versions of Windows 10, to ensure we can continue to service these devices and provide the latest updates, security updates and improvements."

The Windows Update process hasn't been as smooth as users would like over the last few years. With the help of machine learning and clearer communication, this will hopefully be improved.
