    I use an HP and I didn't lose any files. So that is not the issue here.

    So why is the HP issues extensively written and complained about 'here'? I have never ever had problems with W10 and its updates (that is of all 2018-10 Cumulative Updates'). its been the most reliable windows EVER!!!! Yes, some updates didnt install internally through 'Windows Update' especially with v1809 but, I installed and downloaded the v1809-17763.1 directly with*"Windows 10 October 2018 Update installation media*" file name 'Windows10Upgrade9252.exe' (on 3 computers) and the '2018-10 Cumulative Update-17763.55' file 'windows10.0-kb4464330-x64_e459c6bc38265737fe126d589993c325125dd35a.msu' downloaded at 'https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/4464619' and they all installed and worked perfectly. I also use 'OneDrive' extensively through Office 365 and I've never ever had any issues affecting 'OneDrive' and loss of files, even when its synched while an update was downloaded and installed and that includes v1809. My computer works perfectly and without any issues.

     I don’t know what system and/or imbedded system you have but if you have an imbedded system, there is where the problem lays. 

    What is an "imbedded" system? 

    Typically refers to Internet of Things (IoT) version of Windows.  There is a Windows 10 IoT version that can be installed on small devices like a Raspberrry PI or others.

    I know what an embedded system is, but it doesn't make sense in the context of the post I replied to.

    Sorry, that should have been embedded and what I meant was the additional and individual specific software (which are extensive and range as an addition to the windows spectrum) that certain laptop and desktop manufacturers add to coincide as their nice software additions with windows versions e.g. HP, Dell, Acer etc probably, I should have not used 'Embedded' as its technically not correct but, these are the windows systems that v1809 affected adversely as thse manufacturers don't bother to update them to be compatible with the latest windows versions, hence, the problems with v1809.  

    While there are always isolated problems with the biannual feature updates, most of which are related to local conditions, the primary problem with 1809--the deletion of user files--has nothing to do with that.

    The new re-release is still in test and 1803 (April update) is available on the Media Creation page. When it is ready to install on public builds it will appear on windows update.
