Microsoft maintains a list of known issues for Windows 10. With every new release, some issues become resolved, while newly discovered issues are appear in the list.
Microsoft considers certain issues critical, e.g. if they affect performance and stability of your PC. Often, an outdated driver version may prevent Windows 10 from its normal work.
If your Windows 10 PC has an outdated Realtek Bluetooth Radio driver, you won’t be able to upgrade the OS to version 1909. According to Microsoft, devices with Realtek Bluetooth Radio drivers older than version 1.5.1012 are blocked from the upgrade.
If you try to install the update, you will get the following message:
