How to get the Windows 10 May 2019 Update
Beginning today, the May 2019 Update is available for customers who would like to install the latest release. If you are ready to install the update, open your Windows Update settings (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update) and select Check for updates. Once the update appears, you can select Download and install now. (Note: You may not see Download and install now on your device as we are slowly throttling up this availability, while we carefully monitor data and feedback). Once the download is complete and the update is ready to install, we’ll notify you so that you can pick the right time to finish the installation and reboot, ensuring the update does not disrupt you. This new ‘Download and install now’ capability is available for devices running Windows 10, version 1803 or version 1809 that also have the May 21st updates (or later) installed. For more information on the new user update controls and how to get the May 2019 Update, watch this video.

I'm a bit more interested in how NOT to get it yet be able to run Windows Updates manually during fresh installs.
 
Install the version you want and download the current Cumulative Update manually.

Hmmm.... That just gets the cumulative - Also needed is drivers, Defender and all the other updates that come along with the "Check for Updates" button.
 
I'm not a big fan of driver programs. I tried Snappy but only used it a couple times. Definitely don't use the update all function. I still prefer to just pull drivers as needed from the manufacturer. Between my driver collection in MDT and Windows update I hardly have to do it.
 
Just clean installed to a 256 gig SSD and be warned that system restore was off by default. Guess MS is back to that since it is unreliable anyway.
