Last month, Microsoft announced about Windows 10 May 2021 Update and said that it will be released sometime in May 2021. The time struck now! Microsoft announced the availability of Windows 10 May 2021 Update (version 21H1) globally. But, it is currently rolling out to "seekers" only.
It means that you’ll receive the update if you manually click on the "Check for Updates" button on the Windows Updates page and then select the "Download and install now" option.
