It's a pretty serious issue, and one Microsoft hasn't said much about, though it's been widely reported on Reddit and support forums, according to The Verge. 

"We have paused the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) for all users as we investigate isolated reports of users missing some files after updating," the company wrote on a support site.

It's not clear how long the current "pause" will be in effect, but the company notes it will provide an update when the software is ready (and hopefully bug free).
