Microsoft has taken a gradual approach to rolling out its latest Windows 10 feature update, the May 2019 Update, over the last several months, but it's now available for everyone. In an update to its release status page, Microsoft says that the May 2019 Update is now "ready for broad deployment for all users via Windows Update."
The move comes just over four months since the update's May 21 launch. In the intervening months, Microsoft has worked to squash a number of bugs that cropped up, and the majority of them are now categorized as resolved or mitigated.

This follows a similar shift in July, when Microsoft stated it would start pushing the update automatically to PCs running the April 2018 Update, which was nearing its end-of-support date.
If you haven't yet installed the May 2019 Update, it should be available now via Windows Update. In the coming weeks, we're also expecting Microsoft to start its full rollout of the 19H2 feature update, which is much smaller in scope and has reached testing with Windows Insiders on the Release Preview ring.
