Microsoft pushes an update to fix Intel storage drivers bug in Windows 10 May 2019 Update
Earlier Microsoft confirmed that Windows 10 Version 1903 had compatibility issues with Intel storage drivers and therefore stopped pushing the update to users. These Intel storage drivers that have installed incompatible versions cannot receive updates until Microsoft releases a cumulative update fix for compatibility issues at the end of last month. This compatibility issue has now been completely resolved so Microsoft has begun to push major versions of Windows 10 Version 1903 to more users.
After confirming that this issue has been successfully resolved, Microsoft updated the service announcement. Microsoft said that it will push a new version to the previously affected users within 48 hours. On the Windows 10 Version 1903 known bug, Microsoft wrote:
