Windows 10 October 2018 Update: Dump your files to avoid crashes, warns Microsoft
Summary
Ahead of next months release of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, Microsoft is warning users to make sure theres sufficient storage space for the upgrade, or there may be trouble.The cause of this issue is something that users might assume Microsoft had eliminated by now, for example, by raising minimum storage requirements for hardware makers, which are respectively 16GB and 20GB for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10 desktops.But Microsofts explanation for this specific failure is different: "Windows Update does not check systems for adequate space requirements before it initializes.The company recommends a "regular regimen of system maintenance", which means manually getting rid of unnecessary and temporary files and "maintaining awareness" of available and used storage.To make way for Microsofts OS, users should zap temporary files, downloads, and empty the recycle bin, as well as uninstall apps that arent being used.
