Hello everyone
2 months ago windows update showed as READY to install windows 10 version 2004 on my 2 Bellink BT3 PRO, but after the update i got serious problems with wifi connection on both mini pc's.
The problem is the driver of the network adapter BROADCOM 802.11 ABGN WIRELESS SDIO ADAPTER, no way to connect to wifi automacally and after the wake up from standby the adapter disappear completely. Need to reboot every time and the network adapter works again. I tried to reinstall drivers several times but the problems has not been solved.
I momentarily corrected the problem with a wifi stick but there were overheating issues, so one of my 2 BT3 pro has dead.

To avoid breaking also the second one, I struggled a lot to reinstall a previous system image using the previous version of windows 10 and now is 3 months that windows updates are blocked.

Is there someone else who had this problem updating to Windows May 2020 update (version 2004)?

Is it safe to proceed with the update now? Microsoft or Beelink has solved the bug ?

Please let me know guys
Thanks you

I have experienced update problems from the get-go with my BT3. Shelved it for 12 months. Then, I got a little bold 2 weeks ago and decided to load Linux Mint on it (first time I have ever tried Linux anything, but what the hell, the BT3 was going to the garbage anyways.)
Loaded Linux Mint 64 bit on BT3 14 days ago. Thanks to all of the Pioneers, it works. WIFI doesn't. Fixed with TPLink dongle. BT3 works but audio is choppy. I haven't figured out how to disable on-board BT so I can use the BT5 or TPLink BT4 dongles that I purchased. Connected to my old Toshiba DynaDock, works. Additional monitor(s) as well as USB ports. Now to learn some more so I can make use of my "new" toy and maybe rebuild my Phenom II PC and load Linux on it.

Hello, you can download the 2004 version from the official website first, we will provide you with the driver later
