Microsoft has announced that the Windows May 10th 2021 Update is complete and being prepared for release.
Windows Insiders in the 'Beta' and 'Release' channels have been testing this build since April 13th.

Over time, Windows 10 21H1 will slowly be offered to more people to increase testing and provide Microsoft with more diagnostics.
For users who wish to test the May 2021 Update in a clean install of Windows 10, Microsoft has also released a Windows 10 19043.
