    If you have updated a laptop, PC or server the update should keep all user data in a folder called Windows.old on the root directory of the system drive.  If you system drive is C you should be able to find your missing files in the C:\Windows.old\Users(your user name\Documents folder.

    I hope this helps.

    I installed the Windows 10 October Update last Thursday (the 4th of October) using the Upgrade Assistant and the upgrade went file for me - no files were deleted and it is stable and usable.

    I needed to install it, as I am travelling from next week and will only have slow network links to use.  So it's not practical to download a 3.1GB installer in a hotel.

    My questions are regarding when the support that I will receive from Microsoft while they sort this out;

    • Tomorrow is the October 2018 Patch Tuesday, so will there be a Cumulative Update and other updates made available to this version?
    • When Microsoft finally sort this issue out - will the update/fix be made available as a Cumulative Update that can be installed on the initial Build or will it be a new RTM Build?

    This situation really isn't on!  This is the second update which has experienced issues and Microsoft have either delayed or retracted due to the RTM builds not being fit for purpose.  Can Microsoft please revert to an update cycle, which provides a quality build that is reliable rather than delivering rubbish on a six month cycle.
