Microsoft has put a full stop to the rollout of the Windows 10 May 2019 Update to PCs with Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver. According to Microsoft, older PCs with this outdated Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver are having connectivity issues after installing the update, and hence the decision.

Some older computers may experience loss of Wi-Fi connectivity due to an outdated Qualcomm driver. An updated Wi-Fi driver should be available from your device manufacturer (OEM).

To safeguard your upgrade experience, we have applied a hold on devices with this Qualcomm driver from being offered Windows 10, version 1903, until the updated driver is installed.

Microsoft has suggested users update their Wi-Fi driver to the latest version. The software giant also clarified that no user should proceed with manual download and installation by using tools like Windows Update Assistant without updating the latest version of the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver.

Workaround: Before updating to Windows 10, version 1903, you will need to download and install an updated Wi-Fi driver from your device manufacturer (OEM).

Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until a new driver has been installed and the Windows 10, version 1903 feature update has been automatically offered to you.
