Windows 10 October update now available

as in the case of my Alienware, it took us awhile to finally get it back to windows 8, the hard drive still had windows 10 on it and could not be removed from the hard drive.  My computer now that has crashed after the update-----we can not get into it at all.  If I could go to Control panel I would be thrilled, but even Microsoft can not get past the blue screen.  Not to mention the other day they had me go in a change the Boot process on option 1 and then they tried that again today and that boot page was totally different than it was the day before.   

I have no idea why the computer Euif ( think that was what the page was called) is different than it was the other day, but none of the listings on Option 1 is the same

is that Redmond California?    all I have is their 1888 number, and it is overseas people only.

Despite “later” selection for 1809 update 4 days ago, it ground away for 30min anyway, then Documents folder gone. Rolled back, still gone. Tech reports unrecoverable, trying restore from backup. Very angry with Microsoft

I didn't know there was an 1809 which is just as well.  I recently bought a computer with 1709 on it and immediately stopped the automatic updates.  The computer performed beautifully.  Silly me restarted the automatic updates and I've had nothing but problems.  1803 keeps trying to install without success.  As though that's not bad enough, it causes the computer to run at a snails pace, programs to stop responding, and other updates such as drivers won't install because they are "waiting their turn".  I even had a firmware install waiting.  I finally got fed up and stopped the automatic updates again.  The computer is back to its usual speedy self, programs are no longer not responding, and the other updates installed.  Considering the problems of 1809, I now consider myself lucky 1803 didn't install.

Due to the language involved, I cannot in detail express my total frustration with Microsoft, not only with Windows 10 but also with Office 365.  I don't get why this company insists on making its products worse with each new version.  Sure, it always adds new bells and whistles, but what's the point if a function that use to be simple is complicated beyond recognition?  I've used Microsoft products since I bought my first PC in 1990.  I'm nearly 65 and giving serious thought to switching brands.  I don't expect perfection, but I don't expect this much frustration either.

Hi all,

Microsoft has pulled Windows 10 version 1809 from the Software download page, Windows update and update assistant as of today.

Why don't they post this info at the Download Page?  

I downloaded an iso on the Fourth, I suppose it is not good now?
