Windows 10 October update now available

Hi - anyone on here know how long the pause on 1809 rollout will last?  I upgraded 1 of 3 laptops on Thurs 04/10 - didn't think 1809 would be released until Tues 09/10 but it was there. I was just checking if everything was up to date PRIOR to 1809 release.   Fortunately the upgrade went OK (I had my mandatory 2 backups anyway File Hist and n360 plus an older Windows Backup). Some initial performance problems but after a few reboots things stabilised (post upgrade tidy-up?),    On Friday I cleared Windows.old using DiskCleanup so rollback is not an option. Now how another FileHist USB just in case.    The reason I delete Windows.old is my second laptop has a smallish SSD so I wanted to prep for that.  But when I went to upgrade it on Friday, there was no upgrade.  Then saw the rollout pause on Sat.   Second laptop is a travel notebook that only holds copies of files.   Both are x64.     Third one is x86 and holds lots of historic data so I'm not even powering that on until this blows over (although I do have backups).

So, main question is "Is there a timescale on the pause?"

Yea, that was why that there was no updates even I have checked thousand times.

The 1809 update is still showing on my "update"....I had downloaded and attempted to install but got a message that said "Windows could not configure 1 0r more components.  To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation".  I have done the install, reinstall and all the troubleshooters and still the same message.  Guess I'll wait.  

Microsoft are advising NOT to Update to 1809, as there are problems that will be fixed in a later October download.

I'm staying on 1803 as long as is possible to avoid the problems other users have had. Hurry up Microsoft -get the fix out ASAP!

No. not Linux, … An abacus.

Ah hah, That's code for Apple, although apple has 90 % less issues, they are very expensive
