Key improvements for Phones in the May update include:

• Reliability, performance and stability improvements.
• Fix for a problem that could result in unexpected battery drain while the phone screen is off.
• Improvements to the update system to prevent phones getting into a state where attempting to take an update may lead to errors 0x800f081f or 0x80070570.
• Fix for a problem that caused some phones to finish the initial setup wizard with an incomplete set of app tiles on the Start screen.
• Improvements to the reliability of USB-C connections.
• Improvements to Cortana, including a fix for a problem where music playback would not resume after dismissing an incoming text, and a problem with Quiet Hours not setting automatic rules for every day.

• Fix for a problem that caused recorded video to be lost when answering an incoming call on some phones.
