It will take you back to the version and build that was running before you installed 1809.

Thank you. It was version 1803.   

EDIT

I think it was version 1803.  I haven't switched back yet. Will wait and see if I have anymore problems with the new version.

Hope this isn't fake news, MS can restore your lost files after the October-update:
This came out as sort of a damage-control:

I have only 3 left in my documents folder and they're old ones.

EDIT

Still have all the files in my downloads folder.

Hi -midnight,

Not everyone on Windows 10 experiences/experienced problems with this issue, but it shows that slowly Google OS (also on android) is gaining momentum also in "the land of the brave and the free".

Where I live in the Netherlands on the other side of the Atlantic at the North Sea coast Google has 96% of proliferation as a search engine and with various services also on android, mainly elderly people with tablets and chromebooks work Google.

You in the States still seem to have a remaining craving for Microsoft's blue E (IE and Edge) and Bing, what seemed at one time an equivalent for going on the Interwebz.

Have a great day and G*d bless,

Hi polonus,

I think I'm going to switch back today.

I use startpage to search.  I would never use google or bing.

Have a nice day.

I started to do this but it showed I might have to reinstall some apps and some programs. How long does it take to switch back?

I really don't know. I don't intend to switch back. :) Maybe someone else has rolled back ???

I tried to roll back but I can't. This new update really messed up my computer

EDIT

I'm so stupid. I should have backed up all of my files.

My original post also suggested doing an image backup prior to doing the update. :)

Updated version of Windows 10 October 2018 Update released to Windows Insiders https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/10/09/updated-version-of-windows-10-october-2018-update-released-to-windows-insiders/

The article also explains what happened with the 1809 fault and why it only affected users who had enabled "Known Folder Redirection (KFR)"

For users with no files lost on the 1809 upgrade then there is no problem and last nights cumulative update rectified any small problems with the build.
