It has been quite a journey for the latest edition of Windows 10, as version 1809 just can't keep itself away from problems. The Windows maker has now disclosed even more issues that are still plaguing the operating system even though the company took an additional month to work on issues. Microsoft has today updated the Windows history page to add more known Windows 10 1809 bugs to the list.
It should be noted that not all the issues are being faced by everyone. Many of our readers who installed Windows 10 October 2018 Update right when it was first made available on October 2 have confirmed that they haven't experienced any of the problems, including the myriad of data loss issues that version 1809 was dealing with after its initial release. However, we will still advise you to not install the latest update on your daily driver as it could potentially result in problems.
