On October 2nd Microsoft held a private event where it announced new Surface devices and Windows 10’s latest update. Microsoft Windows 10 October 2018 Update, the update introduces new, helpful and productive features. I earlier mentioned What to expect in Windows 10 RS5, October 2018 Update as had been in testing by Insiders. 

The update was scheduled to go live from the 9th of October 2018. But was available for download manually from the 2nd. I had a successful installation on my daily device using the Update Assistant. Some users started reporting of files disappearing after the update. Microsoft then pulled the update to address this situation that seemed to be escalating. Introducing patch fixes and now it is safe to say allow it to show up in windows update, before doing the upgrade.

Timeline feature across devices, making syncing easy

Introducing this update Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President, Modern Life & Devices, Microsoft, talked about how Microsoft wants to help you manage your digital lifestyle. By introducing technology that empowers rather than overwhelm.
