Microsoft has re-launched Windows 10 October 2018 Update after fixing the bugs that caused the update’s withdrawal twice and the delay in its deployment. At the time of launch, Microsoft’s vice president for Windows OS has promised to improve software quality and delivery of these seasonal updates.
The new Windows 10 October 2018 Update will roll out gradually and, for the time being, only for users who manually update their operating system or those who downloaded the media creation tool and/or ISO.
If all goes well and severe bugs would not be reported again, Microsoft will gradually offer the upgrade to a broader market of Windows 10 users in the upcoming weeks, until a global deployment would be implemented via Windows Update.
