What actually happened

Windows 10 version 2004 showed up with a waiting list. Machines with older Conexant and Synaptics audio drivers got "safeguard holds" because forcing the update through broke their sound or left it stuttering. The update waited politely. The fixed drivers never quite arrived. Users spent months on the old version, reading about the new one they were not allowed to have.

This one is officially acknowledged.
