The latest update Windows 10 to version 1809, or the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, is now available for “advanced users” according to Microsoft.
Microsoft started with the release of the update at the beginning of October of 2018, but it stopped using Windows Update due to errors that deleted files.
In the weeks that followed, a bunch of bugs were announced: there were themeaudio and bluescreens, problems with fonts, mapped disks and Intel display drivers.
Microsoft took about six weeks to re-release Windows 10 in version 1809 in November 2018. H company a cumulative update of Windows 10 was later released in December, which fixed additional bugs.
Yesterday, December 17, 2018, Microsoft announced that the Windows 10 October 2018 Update is once again available to everyone. But the update still excludes some devices with AMD Radeon HD2000 and HD4000 graphics processing chips, devices with software by TrendMicro or devices with certain versions of Intel display drivers.
Microsoft says on the Windows 10 Update History in the 1809 version:
Rollout Status as of December 17, 2018: Windows 10, version 1809, is now fully available to advanced users who choose to install it manually from "Check for updates" via Windows Update.
So a click on “control for updates” will install the Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
Do you have to update?
You might want to wait a little longer for the update. Microsoft said the update is for advanced users. The company may automatically release the update but did not reveal when.
If you are bold and want to update, make a backup of your system before proceeding.
