Microsoft has announced that Windows 10, version 2004 has now been added to the broad deployment channel and will be available to everyone via Windows Update.
Microsoft officially started rolling out Windows 10 2004 in May 2020, but for many people, it wasn't yet being offered when checking via Windows Update.

If you are not offered the Windows 10, version 2004 update via Window Update, then you should check the Windows 10 Health Dashboard for any known hardware blocks affecting your computer.
According to the Windows 10 Health Dashboard, the only known blocks for Windows 10 2004 updates are for devices with Conexant ISST audio drivers.
As Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations editions of Windows 10 1909 are reaching the end of service on May 11, 2021, Microsoft is now allowing a limited set of customers (with devices running Windows 10 1903 and higher to upgrade to the latest released version, Windows 10, version 20H2. These customers are known as "Seekers," which is short for users who are manually seeking to update to the latest Windows version by clicking "Check for updates" via Windows Update.
