Users of the new released Windows 10 October 2018 had some awful experiences in the update. Microsoft stops the distribution of Windows 10 October 2018 after discovering the issues of data deletion over the weekend. Now Microsoft, yesterday re-released the new update of its Windows 10 October 2018. The company reported there were only a few complaint of the data loss. “We have fully investigated all reports of data loss, identified and fixed all known issues in the update, and conducted interior proof,” says John Cable, director of program management for Windows Servicing and Delivery.
It was reported the bug that caused file deletion affected users who enabled Known Folder to redirect folders like documents, pictures etc. from the default path. The latest update introduces deletion of empty and duplicate folders, but according to the reports, it appears they were not always empty. So, Microsoft has now fixed the bug to figure out the problems pertained to the folder moves and deletion, and now it's being tested with Windows Insiders.
The re-releasing of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update to Windows Insiders will be tested properly before rolling out again generally to consumers. “We will carefully study the results, feedback, and diagnostic data from our Insiders before taking more steps towards re-releasing more broadly,” says John Cable.
Microsoft seems to admit this as the company is making some changes to the feedback tool for Windows 10 to ensure testers can flag the severity of bug reports. “We have also added a way for users to also supply an indication of impact and severity when filing User Initiated Feedback, we expect this will allow us to better monitor the most marked impression issues even when feedback volume is low.” says Cable.
Microsoft will now monitor feedback related to this re-release of Windows 10 October 2018 Update as said by John Cable, and they will officially launch it to consumers once the company has fully tested it and no bug is found. “There is no further impact” to Windows 10 users. “We're committed to learning from this experience and amending our processes and notification systems to help ensure our customers have a positive experience with our update process,” says Cable.
