    The New Update: 2018-10 KB4100347


    I was going to shut off my computer and go to bed but then there is an update called "2018-10 Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4100347)" (and probably"Windows 10, version 1809"), i have to look for answers online to see if its safe or not, because one of the previous updates deletes all of the data not too long ago, is it safe to update?

    As with any major change, make sure your disk image is up to date before proceeding. If you're not yet using disk imaging (e.g. Macrium Reflect - free) as is so often recommended here, now's the time if you can before the upgrade is implemented.

    If anything goes wrong, having a Windows disk image- and you can image any combination of disk and partitions- will give you a second chance- even if your disk fails and you need to buy another.

    Apart from that, 1809 has been updated since release and should be safe. But things can go wrong whenever you make major changes, so be prepared just in case.

    thanks for the tip about the backup data and 1809, but you didn't say wherever or not 2018-10 1803 KB4100347 is safe to update.

    KB4100347 is the Intel microcode update. I've not seen anyone report it having caused them any problems.

    I use 1809 so can make no personal comment (see my specs).

    You can read a description of and user comments about each and every update in the relevant thread per update per build in the News section.
