Windows 10 October update now available

Grabbed the ISO on Tuesday 10/2 and have done 4 desktops with DVD in place upgrade and 1 laptop with a msdc in place over 1803 with no problems.  I keep my main data on separate hdd(s) and/or ssd(s); but also utilize the user/documents etc. structure for unimportant files.  Everything ported OK on all systems and I use OneDrive. I guess things are aligned for my systems this week as I usually get hit with these problems; hence the Important Data is always kept on Separate Drive(s) with redundant backups everywhere. Been using 2Brightsparks SynBackFree for Decades.

Exactly. People don't understand the value of backups until they login one day and their drive has crashed and or the OS blew up. I do system images twice a week to a separate drive and my 4TB data drive gets backed up to a WD external 4TB twice a month. That ext drive then gets taken out of the loop so if anything happens to the system where everything is hosed, I still have my ext 4tb drive with all my data intact. I trust manual tactics far more than any automated backup suite. Just my opinion

They sure don't. I save an image once a month, and I keep three months' worth.  And I save one whenever I'm going to be doing a major update/upgrade, such as this.  

I have three PCs, and I ran out of room on my 750GB USB external drive, so I now just save the images from my desktop and laptop on that drive, and for my notebook I save them on the HDD I removed from it when I replaced it with an SSD.  Surprisingly, it works with the USB adapter that came with the SSD .  It's 2.0, so it takes a while, but it works.  With my desktop, I also save its images on a separate internal HDD (in addition to the external USB drive).  A bit redundant with the desktop, but one can never be too careful.

system restore via control center restored my files & rolled back the update

Hey, after the update to 1809 I have some issues like missing files and the Bluetooth cannot perform transfer between my phone and laptop only vice versa !!! and this happens is after the new update !!!

So after all what should I do, wait for a new update or just wipe out the windows and reinstall it ?!
