Microsoft has revealed yet another upgrade blocking issue in Windows 10 version 2004. This time, the affected devices are laptops with an LTE modem installed.

The issue description mentions that certain WWAN LTE modems might not be able to connect after waking from sleep, so Microsoft is not shipping version 2004 to such devices until the company fixes the bug.

After waking from sleep or hibernation, certain WWAN LTE modems might show no internet in the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) in the notification area and might be unable to connect to the internet.

To safeguard your update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on Windows 10 devices with affected WWAN LTE modems drivers installed from being offered Windows 10, version 2004 until the issue has been resolved. If your organization is using Update Compliance, the safeguard ID is 28428232.

Thankfully, it is easy to mitigate the issue. All you need to do is to enable Airplane mode. This will disable the LTE modem and its connection. When, disable Airplane mode, and the device should work as expected.
