Win10 version 1809, take two: A guide to the builds and what they break
In one of the worst Windows rollouts in history — at least since Windows 3.1 — last week’s rollout of Win10 version 1809 left some PCs with empty Documents, Photos and other folders, and it managed to mangle user profiles for others. The net result was mayhem, with Microsoft yanking the 1809 upgrade three days later.
Now, a week after the initial assault, we’re told that Microsoft has solved all the problems and has begun a test rollout of the new, improved, latest version of the last version of Windows. The new rollout is only going to the Windows Insider beta-testers who are enrolled in the Slow or Release Preview rings. (It can’t go out to the Insider Fast ring because that ring was pushed to 18252.1000, the first round of “version 19H1” betas, back on Oct. 3.)
