Windows 10 October 2018 Update Deleting Users Files

Windows 10 October 2018 Update 1809

Microsoft discharged its latest Windows ten October 2018 Update earlier on, however some users square measure news serious problems. Threads on Reddit, Microsoft’s own support web site, and alternative forums show that some Windows ten users square measure upgrading to the October 2018 Update and having their documents, photos, or maybe entire user profiles exhausted. whereas some have discovered a brief fix for the problem, it’s not clear why specifically this is often happening.

Microsoft has not started mechanically pushing this latest update dead set Windows Update, thus solely people who visit Windows Update manually and check for updates can latch on put in immediately. Still, the actual fact variety of individuals square measure news these problems is forbidding. Microsoft is presently investigation the reports, however given these early problems we’d suggest not putting in the Windows ten October 2018 Update immediately. If you are doing wish to require the danger, confirm you’ve got all of your documents and information protected simply just in case you’re suffering from this explicit bug.

Microsoft is also not suggesting users install the current build manually, saying:

If you have manually downloaded the Windows 10 October 2018 Update installation media, please don’t install it and wait until new media is available.

In a rather new and worrying development, however, Redmond has determined to briefly pull the update, skipping its original October nine p

ublic roll-out date and with smart reason. Apparently, AN isolated issue was reported  by variety of early users and confirmed by Microsoft. It involves user files going missing when the update method.

We have paused the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) for all users as we investigate isolated reports of users missing some files after updating.

Neowin notes that this build skipped the discharge Preview step, that was designed to catch such problems, however as we have a tendency to reported  earlier there square measure indications atiny low share of Insiders were experiencing the file deleting issue for a few months currently, with the OS update going unfixed, suggesting one thing additional elementary is amiss with the testing system.
