At least you CAN update SSMS... For me it fails on an ODBC driver update because the current driver can not be removed... (but if I remove manually it still fails because the current driver can not be removed)...

Poor Microsoft. Will we ever be happy with their updaters? Offer an external upgrader - people scream that they hate it. Offer an update from inside the application - people scream that they hate it. Do an automatic update - people scream that they hate it. They really can't win.

And still we pay for their products, because the free alternative isn't really an alternative.
But then again, if we pay for something we have also earned the right to complain, right?

See, this is what I was talking about. "You were not supposed to reply out of script now, why do you have to?"

Do you mind? I'm busy trying to grok my motivation for this scene.

Simple, isn't it.

Me: Nah, you have to turn the thing until it points at the padlock.
Her: I'm scared to. It feels like I'm going to break it.
Me: Nah, just turn it further.
Her: I'm going to ring-up support.
Me: !?!
Her: Blub, blub, blub. Expensive. Blub. Hard to use. Blub.
ScriptDrone: Hello Maddam, what is the model number?
Her: I just want to make coffee. I bought this machine and I can't use it.
Me: I'm goin to the garage.
ScriptDrone: Er, model number?
...

...
Her: Oh it's okay darl. He said just to turn it and it doesn't matter if I get to the end or not.
Me: !!!!?! Would you say that a soccer-ball has a bit of pressure in it?
Her: Yeah. They're hard.
Me: Well, there's 4-5 times as much pressure behind boiling water.
Her: 
She rang back again, got a different drone. Tried telling her the same thing. FFS - it says twice in the manual that this is an important detail. They've never seen the machine before, dont speak english natively and are telling her whatever they can to get her off the phone.
One finger on the machine, another on the whatever-its-called, turn until locked. Hang-up babe, they're idiots. You'd have possibly been burnt horribly if I let you listen to them..

...Microsoft decided that my computer is ready for the May update (2004) and encourages me to update it...
Should I? Or wait for and other quarter?

I dunno - do you use external disks?
If you do, then the answer is a qualified "No" - it failed to connect (and still does) to my NAS box via the \\NASBOXNAME, I had to give it a static IP in my router, and connect via \\192.168.0.11 instead 9an duit still gives occasional "whoopsies" which mean a Windows restart. Probably it's some SMB1 weirdness 2004 introduces, but it was a PITA.
Other than that it's been all hunky-dory.

I haven't installed it yet on any of my machines.
The way I see it is - I can risk pretty much bricking my machines or I can carry on with current security updates and a perfectly working Windows 10 Pro installation and not take that risk.

I plan to wait for some more time. This would help know about any introduced issue or so.
[Same ploy helped with recent Mac update where there was a memory issue and people had bad experience post update.]

I have 2 systems (VM) updated. No known problems. On one, VS 2019 is acting strange with a solution copied from the other. Problem with (just updated) VS or W10? Don't know yet. Unless there is something you want/need in the update, let the pioneers sort stuff out for a while. Very easy for me to go back to the old version if I decide to.

The "new" Edge still won't scale properly on my Surface (I still need to use IE), so ... NO.

I wouldn't upgrade, but I'll have to deal with it (very probably), because relative bought a PC I will install from the scratch and don't know how to avoid downloading the latest with the media creation tool yet.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
