Okay, so here we go again. Every time there’s a major new roll out from Microsoft for Windows 10, there’s bound to be reports of user-related problems coming in. So much so, Microsoft has pulled the update for now.
The Windows 10 October 2018 Update only became officially available on Tuesday, & already it’s been found to be deleting user data. Luckily, there’s a way to get the Content back. The new rollout is also causing problems with Microsoft Edge for some users.

Microsoft pulls the Windows 10 October 2018 Update as it investigates user files going missing
Microsoft has pulled the Windows 10 October 2018 Update from Windows and its media creation website as it investigates issues with the update deleting users files upon install. Users first started reporting that their documents folder had gone missing after an upgrade to the October 2018 Update a few days ago, and Microsoft has since confirmed that it is looking into the issue.
For now, until the issue is fixed, the October 2018 Update has been pulled. It is no longer available for download officially, and there is no word on when it will be made available again. This is the second time Microsoft has had a major issue with a new feature update for Windows 10, the first of which happened earlier this year with the April 2018 Update, which resulted in a three week delay. – Windows Central
