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

The software giant started rolling out the update during the company's Surface event earlier this week, but some Windows 10 users noticed their documents were being deleted.

Users have taken to social media forums and Microsoft's own support website to complain about the issue, along with some other problems related to compatibility with some Intel CPUs, problems with Edge and some Windows Store apps.

Microsoft is now recommending that affected users contact the company, and for those who have manually downloaded the October update not to install it until new media is available.

Microsoft was planning to push the latest October update out to all Windows 10 users next Tuesday.
