Since the availability of Windows 10 October 2018 Update, there have been some issues reported by a limited number of users. Firstly the update deleted files from some customers PCs which made Microsoft block the upgrade globally to re-release it after fixing the bug.

The re-release also came with its share of issues with Microsoft having to block the upgrade to PCs which had new Intel display drivers with versions 24.20.100.6344 and 24.20.100.6345 installed.

Today the Redmond Giant has again blocked the Windows 10 version 1809 upgrade for PCs which have the Mophisec Software Development Kit installed including Cisco AMP for Endpoints.

Users with the Mophisec Protector installed on their PCs will not be able to work with Microsoft Office. The Redmond Giant has confirmed the issue and is currently working to fix the issue for devices with the Mophisec Protector installed.

“Microsoft and Morphisec have identified an issue on devices that have installed Morphisec Protector or another application that uses the Morphisec Software Development Kit (SDK) including Cisco AMP for Endpoints.

Microsoft blocks Windows 10 April Update for Intel SSD 600p Series

Microsoft is blocking some Intel SSDs from installing the April 2018 Update after discovering an incompatibility issue that causes performance and stability issues. In short, the problem was explained by Microsoft as: “When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly.” Microsoft says that this issue has no workaround and that those that have attempted to update Windows 10 to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update should revert back to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709.

Unfortunately, the announcement by Microsoft fails to list what specific Intel SSD models are having issues with the OS update. We contacted Intel and discovered that the Intel SSD 600p Series of client drives that was first introduced to the market in 2016 is the most popular drive that is having issues.

Windows 10 October 2018 Update issues with Microsoft Office

To anyone who can help;

I am running a Windows 10 Professional 64-bit.

The OS updated on Wednesday, October 3, 2018.

Since the update, I have been having issues with my Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus software:

a) I am unable to click on "Save As" option with any of the programs

b) After uninstalling the software, I have reinstalled the program with the same problems.

I hope this is not Microsoft's way for forcing customers to buy the latest program. I have not had any issues with Office 2010 until the October 2018 update. Please help in fixing this issue.

Respectfully,
