INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Microsoft is running out of calendar runway for Windows 10 October 2018 Update, the one it withdrew from distribution earlier this
month.With less than 48 hours left in the month, the company is in danger of rendering obsolete the name of the fall feature upgrade and
perhaps disrupting the scheduled support.[ Related: Windows 10 October 2018 Update: Key enterprise features ]Although Microsoft officially
released the refresh on Oct
2, four days later it barred access to the upgrade via Windows Update, told those who had installed it to stay off their PCs and warned
users who had downloaded but not installed it to trash the disk image
The reason for the unprecedented moves: Some users - Microsoft said 1/100th of 1% - reported that the upgrade deleted all files in several
folders, including the important Documents and Photos directories.
