Windows 10 October update now available

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 Sumit,

          Thank You for the information. Please post here when MS is rereleasing the 1809.

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

The October Windows 10 update crashed my PC with error code 0xc00000e9, a Windows error, unable to upload windows or my files. Had a blue screen with no ability to recover my files or system. PCWorld found the memory deleted from hard drive and had to replace my computer, only purchased on 17th August 2018.

Perhaps Microsoft need to own up to the problems it caused and provide some compensation for its users due to the unexpected and devasting results of their latest serious update.

Oops, I've installed it. Twice. Rolled back once because of the Store app access issue (fixed after second install by Network Reset).  But now I find that OneDrive is borked when in normal fully synced mode (i.e. no Files on Demand). Nothing syncs and files can't be deleted, the Delete key is ignored in File Explorer. FoD seems OK but is not what I want.

So I'll roll back again.

No mention of this on the Feedback Hub which would have been nice.
