https://wccftech.com/windows-10-1809-re-release-officially-begins/ > After weeks of wait, Microsoft has finally begun the process of releasing Windows 10 1809 (aka October 2018 Update) to users after the initial rollout process was paused due to a number of data loss problems that affected a small set of users. > While today’s release would excite many Windows enthusiasts, we would advise you not to hit “check for updates” button in the Settings app. You might do so just to see if the latest version is available for your PC, but it would begin the installation process. Also, before proceeding make sure you create a backup of your PC to avoid any surprises.
