Windows 10 October 2018 Update rollout now paused

pietcorus2 · 06 Nov 2018

Certainly this week not anymore.............
Maybe next week ( or next year ??).....!

I'm confident it will be released on Tuesday....

....I just don't know which one

It's not quite 11a.m. in beautiful downtown Redmond......

They all have to go to lunch down at the local watering hole, then draw straws for the decision. Winner gets to pay the lunch tab, loser has to push the button.

well patch Tuesday next week hopefully then as there will be new patches for 1809 too

They'd be smarter to stick with 1803 and forget 1809, just get 19H1 correct.

Why has it to be Tuesday? We have already seen MS pulling out some out-of-band updates. Meaning it can be any day considering the circumstances of a pulled or paused FU.

Yes, Out-of-Band category. It's a catch-all for everything that doesn't fit some predefined criteria.

It doesn't have to be, but it's Microsoft's favourite day for releases...

Microsoft said:

...To provide you with a day (Monday) to deal with any other issues you need to work through from the previous week.

I would not rely on "the favourite day for releases". As I said before how many times have we faced those out-of-band updates. Additionally, what is more nerve-racking right now is that we don't have an inkling of what is going on. It's been a while since the last time we heard about Microsoft with regard to the re-release of 1809. All we have are some presuppositions from articles around the web..
