Windows 10 October 2018 Update rollout now paused

Does this mean 1809 needs to be installed again through WU when the final-finally version comes out? I got mine a day after it became available on WU and I haven't seen any files missing. I hope I don't get left out in the dust bcause of this...

Likely will be a patch for it and early adopters.

If it were me, and if I had a Macrium (or similar) image of the machine BEFORE the update, I'd restore the image and wait for the "finally-final" version to be pushed to me.

The 'missing files' problem appears to be a bug in the update process rather than Windows itself. If you got through the update without problems then you should just need the normal cumulative updates rather than a complete reinstall when MS fix this.

You sure @Bree?
There seems to be so much wrong with this one that for the sake of confidence would you not agree with my #583?
Unless of course you have updated multiple machines and therefore would have to spend many hours on it!

The October 2018 Update is preventing modern apps from connecting to the internet for some [Update] - Neowin

I guess it affects only a few people? I have IPv6 fully disabled and everything works, Edge, Store, Weather.

How come nothing like that happened to Slow, Fast and Skippy ??
