This is due to an issue with inappropriate drive assignment in Windows 10 May 2019 Update, which has been already identified by Microsoft but not yet included to this feature update. Microsoft explained this issue with the following example:
An upgrade to the May 2019 Update is tried on a computer that has a thumb drive inserted into a USB port. Before the upgrade, the device would have been mounted in the system as drive G based on the existing drive configuration. However, after the upgrade, the device is reassigned a different drive letter. For example, the drive is reassigned as drive H.
Microsoft said that the fix will roll out in future with a servicing update. Till that time, if you want to install this big update, you will have to unplug all USB device and SD cards from that system before running installation of this update.
