Microsoft has paused the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) for all users as they investigate reports of users missing some files after updating.

Microsoft has responded to user reports by pausing the rollout of the Fall update, something that also happened with the previous major update in April, which was also temporarily postponed due to a bug. Microsoft recommends users who downloaded the update manually to install it and ask to wait for a new version. When the new update will roll out again is not yet known, neither is the cause of the new bug known. To be updated.

At least back in the day, after soft bricking your PC with a mere windows update, your files were usually still there, just unreachable for a time.

"If you have manually downloaded the Windows 10 October 2018 Update installation media, please don’t install it and wait until new media is available."

Integrated CU or new build..... I'm guessing CU
