Now that we have the second cumulative update for Win10 version 2004, I feel confident in recommending that you install the August patches.

Nope, Win10 version 2004 isn’t ready for prime time yet, but if the latest bumper crop of bug fixes work out OK – with few if any reported problems – we may be closer to having a stable version to jump to.
