Windows 10: Why did Microsoft release the October 2018 update when it is clearly not ready?

This is the first update that is causing me significant issues. Network drives are completely inaccessible, my machine turns into a space heater from ridiculous CPU usage, and overheats to the point where all of my programs freeze, and task manager is also inaccessible. when this happens, the only way to stop it is with a hard shutdown. I have rolled back, no problems, reinstalled update, exact same problems return. this is horrible. I have work that I have had to repeatedly do over because of this. this issue is replicated on my PC at work, which i had to block windows update with GPedit to prevent installation of the update AHEM...(downdate). this issue needs to be addressed by Microsoft. I have left feedback in feedback hub as well.
