Interesting, I haven't seen that yet. Gotta link?
Most of the world is still using IPv4 successfully, but Microsoft decided that Windows 10 -defaults- to IPv6, so a lot of networks (my workplace included) disable IPv6 to avoid confusion after a reboot. Maybe this update is Microsoft's attempt to convince the rest of the world that IPv6 MUST be used, practicality be damned.
If so, best of luck with that, MS. IPv6 is slowly catching on in places where it makes sense (cell-data IPs for example), but IPv4 is still humming along just fine in its little 32-bit spaces, using NATs and such. Sometimes the "IPv4 IS RUNNING OUT OF ADDRESSES!!" doom-sayers sound like the Global Warming doom-sayers.

Found one on BetaNews, but it's not the file-deletion problem, it's a network connection issue:
Windows 10 October 2018 Update breaks Microsoft Edge and Windows Store apps for some users
"Microsoft is aware of an issue after installing the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) that prevents Microsoft Store apps from connecting to the Internet on devices that have disabled IPv6."They also have a mention that the missing files are deleted, but not overwritten (unless you've been using the computer since the update), so a deleted-file recovery tool might be able to get them back, assuming you don't install the tool on the same disk, of course... yikes.Although the company is working on a proper solution, for now you can get around the issue by simply enabling IPv6.
