Windows 10: October 2018 1809 Fails to install, Undoes changes at 16% progress

So I've been trying to get onto 1809 from 1803, Check for Updates thinks I'm up to date though I am not, whatever. I'm using W10 Update Assistant downloaded from the October 2018 update page instead, it sees there's an new version available (1809), downloads it and installs fine.


I then restart as instructed and the update progress bar reaches 16%, it then reboots and goes to 'Undoing Changes', reboots again and I'm back on 1803, update failed, no error message or anything.


I've tried clearing the update 3-4 times now with clean update files, restarting W10 update services and running the update troubleshooter, none have fixed my issue.


What am I doing wrong here? I thought this update was made public yesterday, seems like the updater is flat out refusing to continue.

:)

Windows 10 October 2018 Creators Update Winver 1809

This is amazing. I purchased a Windoiws 10 Pro Installation DVD and fresh installed it on my Laptop. It installed the Winver 1809 which is the version of Windows 10 with October 2018 Creators Update.
Next day Windows Update downgraded it to version 1803.

Now when I try to install the October 2018 update on the Laptop, it doesn't get installed though I understand that it has been again released by Microsoft. On my Desktop I had updated to Winver 1809 on the
day it was originally released and it is working like a charm.

Isn't this amazing? Can someone please help me to install Winver 1809 on my Laptop? I am not an Insider.
