Microsoft pulls Windows 10 October 2018 Update for missing document. Some Windows 10 immediately noticed their documents were being deleted after upgrading.<\/p>\n
Microsoft has stopped distributing its latest Windows 10 October 2018 Update. The software giant started rolling out the update during the company\u2019s Surface event earlier this week, but\u00a0some Windows 10 immediately noticed their documents were being deleted. \u201cWe 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,\u201d says Microsoft on its\u00a0support site\u00a0for Windows Update.<\/p>\n
Microsoft is now recommending that affected users contact the company directly, and if you\u2019ve manually downloaded the October update then \u201cplease don\u2019t install it and wait until new media is available.\u201d Other\u00a0Windows 10 users have been complaining\u00a0that the Microsoft Edge browser and other store apps have been unable to connect to the internet after the October 2018 Update, and the update was even\u00a0blocked on certain PCs\u00a0due to Intel driver incompatibilities.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not clear how many Windows 10 users are affected by the problem, but even if it\u2019s a small percentage it\u2019s still surprising this issue was never picked up during Microsoft\u2019s vast testing of the October update. Millions of people\u00a0help Microsoft test Windows 10, but the company has struggled with the quality of Windows updates recently. Microsoft\u00a0delayed its Windows 10 April 2018 Update\u00a0earlier this year over Blue Screen of Death issues, but those problems were picked up before the update reached regular consumers and businesses.<\/p>\n
Microsoft was planning to push the latest October update out to all Windows 10 users next Tuesday, but that\u2019s now likely to be put on hold while investigations continue into this major deletion problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
