Windows 10 October update now available

Hi Sumit,

        Thank You for the information. I'll keep checking back here often.

I had OneDrive off my device and did not lose any files during update to Windows 10 Version 1809 Build 17763.55 (well, there have been a couple of Cumulative Updates since I downloaded and installed 1809 from the Download Page).

As I have said before and will say again the problem was with Known Folder Redirection and OneDrive

Hi Sumit,

          Thank You for the information. Please post here when MS is rereleasing the 1809.

Stop being such a Microsoft apologist. I have had auto-backup to OneDrive turned off ever since I got my Surface (and for good reason, too), and the issue still happened. There's no denying that something went horribly wrong with the update and that Microsoft is responsible for shoddy QC.

Certainly going nuts here with my Windows 10 Laptop.  It boots to HP logo, goes to the screen where it says wait while we are preparing your computer, not to turn the computer off, etc. for a few seconds, of course it goes into a blank screen!  Then I SCREAM!!! I am not sure if this is due to the October update or if I have actually had a hardware failure.  I've tried everything known to bring it back up with the same results.  Any advice anyone?  Thanks...

Have you got a backup of windows? If you have, restore windows with that. The preferable backup is with 'Macrium Reflect' that lets you boot into a restore phase with a USB drive called 'Windows PE' and then you can restore any of your backed up 'Images' that you have. If you haven't done that then your only option is to try and boot into 'safe mode':

If you have a Windows 10 setup DVD or USB memory stick lying around, or if you can create one right now, you can use it to boot your broken PC with Windows 10 into Safe Mode. To create a Windows 10 installation drive, follow this tutorial on another PC: How to create Windows 10 installation media (on a USB stick) or download a free ISO file. Then use it to boot your broken Windows 10 PC from it and wait for the installation environment to load. Choose the language and keyboard layout you prefer and click or tap Next:

1. Click or tap on the link that says "Repair your computer" on the bottom left corner of the screen.
2. When asked what option you prefer, choose Troubleshoot.
3. On the "Advanced options" screen, click or tap "Command Prompt (Use the Command Prompt for advanced troubleshooting)."
4. Inside the Command Prompt window, type the command: bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal. Press Enter on your keyboard and, after a moment, it tells you that "The operation completed successfully."
5. Close the Command Prompt and choose to Continue on the next screen.
6. After your PC reboots, Windows 10 starts into Safe Mode. Log in with a user account that has administrator permissions, and perform the changes you want.

IMPORTANT: The problem with this method is that it tells Windows 10 to enter Safe Mode automatically, every time you start it, until you tell it not to. To disable this setting, and get Windows 10 to boot normally again, run the same procedure one more time and type the command: bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot.
