    So i've already installed a completely fresh install of the new 1809 Version since i got myself a SSD. 

    Am i fine then or should i update again whenever you release the new stuff ? 

    I don't encounter any issues since its a fresh install and didn't loose any data i backed up.

    I have also upgraded without any issue. I dont think we should roll back. Because the file deletion problem occurs right after upgradation, which we have already did. So i think there should not be any issue in future.

    I updated my HP Spectre x360 to the October 2018 version but had different issues.  Scrolling on my touchpad only worked intermittently for some sites in Edge and in some apps.  The cursor would just disappear and I could not scroll down the page.  I did not have the pictures issue but some of my picture files were converted to strange files and there were a few downloads in my pictures files.  I reverted back to version 1803 and will await the fixes before installing the 1809 version.
