Microsoft released Windows 10 May 2020 Update, version 2004, after over a year of internal and Insider testing. While the final builds of Windows 10 version 2004 weren't showing any major bugs, the Windows maker has now released quite a long list of known issues that are plaguing the latest version of the operating system.
Due to these issues, Microsoft is putting compatibility hold on Windows 10 devices that may be affected by these bugs. The company has also advised not to manually install the update using the Update Now button or the Media Creation Tool until the issue that affects your particular machine has been addressed.
Here is the complete list of Windows 10 version 2004 known issues (and their current status) acknowledged by Microsoft

It is unclear why Microsoft had to wait until after the launch to release this list of known issues and why they couldn't be addressed when Windows 10 version 2004 was being tested. Since the list is already live, it cannot be due to customer complaints either as it's too early for that process to start. We can only hope that process doesn't end up revealing even more bugs in the just-released Windows 10 May 2020 Update.
Windows 10 version 2004 is the first update being released under the new leadership of Panos Panay. Many hoped that this would finally end the era of buggy Windows 10 updates. While users would definitely want to criticize this list of known issues, it has to be admitted that the company is at least being upfront about it (bar is low, after all) and not waiting for users to go through the annoyingly tiring process of updating and then reporting the issues. Hopefully the fixes would arrive through OEMs or the next month's cumulative update.
As always, we recommend waiting for a couple of months before moving on to a new version of the operating system. For those who want to be 100% confident about a new version, it's better to stick to the last-released version (November 2019 Update, in this case) instead of the newest version. But, if you are a Windows 10 enthusiast, you can choose to manually install Windows 10 version 2004. Again, Microsoft has recommended not to do that if the above list of known issues affect your device.
* resolved through June 9 cumulative update.
** brought through June PT update; fixed through June 18's out-of-band update.
*** resolved through July 14 cumulative update.
