Hello

Some may know or aware already the next Major Feature update - October (1809) has a major flaw of which it deletes system files and once installed, it will no longer boot, no longer be able to repair
no longer be able to system restore

Completely upsets your system - you will have to rebuild from scratch

Please backup everything that you need onto USB pen drive just incase you get unlucky

Thanks a lot! I just took a backup.

I need to learn to take regularly backups. Because, Windows.

Thanks for the warning! Apparently they stopped rolling out the version, but better saved than sorry!

Their last major update broke all sorts of things for me when it default a bunch of network settings without asking.

The update was halted by MS and has now been released. The deletion bug was traced to users who had system folders redirected to non-default locations.

I've also just installed the 1803 update without issues. I did hear the issue was with 1809 though, so I am not sure if I've got the 'fixed' version or just an older one. It did say October 2018.

but shutdown and startup works perfectly well
