  • Microsoft finally resumes Windows 10 October 2018 update rollout

    Microsoft finally resumes Windows 10 October 2018 update rollout

    Microsoft has finally resumed the roll out Windows 10 October 2018 update, after pulling the plug on the original release due to a bug which completely wiped out users data. Microsoft confirmed the re-release in an official blog post, and promised that it has “thoroughly investigated and resolved” any issues from the original launch. That said, it took the company nearly a month to fully test the update before re-releasing it for the general public.

    The initial Windows 10 October 2018 update was publicly launched without being tested by Windows Insiders. However, Microsoft now assures that it has tested the build for any bugs before making it available for everyone.

    “In addition to extensive internal validation, we have taken time to closely monitor feedback and diagnostic data from our Windows Insiders and from the millions of devices on the Windows 10 October Update, and we have no further evidence of data loss,” explains Microsoft’s John Cable, director of program management for Windows servicing and delivery.

    Windows 10 October 2018 Update will now be available for a small number of Windows 10 users starting today. Besides, you can manually check for the update by going to Windows 10 Update Assistant. That said, users will only get the update notification if their system is compatible. As in case any compatibility issues are detected, the update will not show up.

    “If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we will not install the update until that issue is resolved, even if you ‘Check for updates,’ so you avoid encountering any related problems,” explained Microsoft.

    The Windows-maker also promised it’ll make sure such glitiches don’t happen again with forthcoming Windows 10 updates. The company says it’ll pay more attention to the quality of updates it offers to Windows 10 users in the future.

    Deal! Microsoft Surface Pro 6 with Platinum cover now availble at just $599

    If you’re on the lookout for a new Surface Pro model, this might be the right time to get one as the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 is now available at a much lower price. Not to mention, it’ll also get you some extra goodies as a part of a rather not-to -be missed deal.

    The deal which is available right now includes the Surface Pro 6 and a Platinum cover bundle for just $599. That said, it’s a limited time offer so grab one before the deal expiries using the link here.

    Microsoft is offering a substantial discount as the Surface Pro 6 usually starts at $899, while a Type C cover is priced at an extra $129.99. So essentially, you’ll have to shell out over $1000 to get a Surface Pro 6 without any discounts.

    However, it’s also worth noting that this discounted Surface Pro 6 bundle features Intel Core m3 processor coupled with 4GB of RAM, as opposed to Intel Core i5 or Intel i7 core processors. Hence, it won’t be a s powerful as its other high-end variants, but the deal is something one cannot afford to miss.

    Apart from this, Microsoft is also selling two other Surface Pro bundles, though at much higher prices. The Surface Pro 6 featuring Intel Core i5, 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM along with Platinum Signature Cover is now available for $1159, while its 256GB storage variant is available at $1459.
