Microsoft lists Windows 10 October 2020 Update known issues - Windows Central

The Windows 10 October 2020 Update officially launched to the public today, and Microsoft followed it up with a look at the known issues still hanging around.

The issues still being investigated mostly relate to devices with Conexant or Synaptics audio drivers, which could receive errors or outright crash to a blue screen.

Microsoft notes that it has put a compatibility hold on Windows 10 devices with the affected Conexant or Synaptics audio drivers for the first two issues.

If you have a device with these drivers, the Windows 10 October 2020 Update won't be offered to you until the driver has been updated.

Microsoft is releasing the Windows 10 October 2020 Update as a measured rollout, similar to how it has handled major updates in the past.

Devices that are known to have no issues with the update will get it first, and Microsoft will ramp up the pace over time.

As it continues, we could see more known issues added to the list, but the October 2020 Update seems to be off to a smoother start than some previous updates, judging by the small list of launch issues.
