Delay installing it, if you can.

I think Microsoft have re-released it with a built-in check for the type of Intel-specific component and driver that causes many of the problems.

Went up to Win10 1803 17134.320 last night, hopefully that'll help keep the October 2018 Update at bay...

Already updated unfortunately. May possibly be the reason that my Office 2016 has deleted my yahoo user profile and after spending literally hours trying to set up yahoo again no combinations of ports or user data will allow me to sign in again. The update seems to have changed the way that Outlook actually sets up user accounts now.

Does anyone know whether restoring the computer to a previous checkpoint will roll back the windows update? I'm a beta tester if that affects anything....

SSD-based systems have been proving difficult to recover.

Outlook was affected, read of a fix for that, but can't find it at the moment....

Meantime, this much help to you, @jonsie?

Thanks for the heads up @Bambino

Just passed it on to my other half who deals with PC related issues.

I haven't had a recent update yet.

I think I read somewhere that a System Restore won't help @jonsie, but take a look at this link. There are also links within the link that may help too: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-october-2018-update-how-to-get-it-how-to-avoid-it/

Edit: Also found this link, @jonsie. Maybe?: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-october-update-delete-your-files-this-tool-might-recover-them/

To be honest I have no other issues, no loss of data or pictures etc. It's just the Outlook problem though not a biggie.

Yeah unfortunately. Guess I'm waiting for the patch then. I'm scanning with Recva now but it's a long process. Might just use Thunderbird in the meantime.

@BambinoThank you for the information ~ checking my system.

I have a new computer ~ my last computer couldn't deal with the Windows 10 updates so had to retire.

This computer is running W10 and has SSD too.

Looks like Microsoft have pulled the update altogether today, sorry this does not help those like @jonsie in "early adopter" programs who have had their systems impacted...

Good news for those waiting for the update though. Hope @jonsie you find a quick fix.

Re: Latest Windows 10 Update Warning

Cleoriff — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 13:15:33 GMT

Thanks for the latest update to the 'update' @pgn

Quite worrying that they pulled it without warning or explanation!

Re: Latest Windows 10 Update Warning

TallTrees — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 15:00:05 GMT

PHEW !! worrying

checked installed updates and not in there. I have had issues with my older computer which couldn't cope anymore with windows 10 updates ~ I couldn't get it to work properly ~ it was originally on windows 8.1 then I was offered W10 so agreed, it worked great for a long time but then turned on me or the computer I should say, edge disappeared after the last update! I couldn't take anymore so it is in a minimum supporting role.

I hate updates they are a necessary evil I suppose.

Not really. Office wors great for my GMail and outlook emails but it won't accept the set up for Yahoo. I've tried all sorts of combinations and no joy. Strange thing is that Thunderbird won't let e set up the yahoo account.

As said it's not a big problem as I have the Yahoo webmail and of course the phones and tablet but it's annoying. I hate having something that is supposed to work and indeed did work before the update. It stresses me out but hey ho, if that was all I had to worry about I would be a happy sole. Not sure any of that makes sense but I'm ast caring at the moment
