Windows 10 version 1903, May 2019 Update, is now available, and if your device hasn’t received the update through Windows Update, you can force the new version using the “Update Assistant” tool.

The Windows 10 “Update Assistant” is a tool designed for computer, which for unknown reasons, are not getting the new update, but they’re compatible with new version. The tool works similar to the Media Creation Tool, but with the difference that you can only do an in-place upgrade.
