Microsoft has announced it fixed another Windows 10 version 1809 (October 2018 Update) issue, so more devices are now allowed to do the installation.

In December, the company says it blocked the upgrade to version 1809 for computers running certain Morphisec and Cisco applications, as compatibility issues might have broken down certain features.

"Microsoft and Morphisec have identified an issue on devices which have installed Morphisec Protector or another application that uses the Morphisec Software Development Kit (SDK) including: Cisco AMP for Endpoints. These applications may impact customers' ability to make use of the 'Save As…' dialog when saving documents in Microsoft Office applications. Saving of files is not impacted. (32-bit versions only)," the organization said.

"Issues now fixed"

On January 15, the software giant says the problem was fixed, as both Morphisec and Cisco released updates for his or her items that resolved the bugs impacting compatibility with Windows 10 version 1809.

The compatible versions are Morphisec Protector version 2.4.8 and Cisco AMP for Endpoints less than version 6.2.1.0 or greater than version 6.2.3.10813 only, and Microsoft recommends users to install them before upgrading to the October update.

Furthermore, the software giant reveals the upgrade block remains in place on computers that are running earlier versions of the said products.

Earlier today, Microsoft also announced that Windows 10 October 2018 Update has become on offer as an automatic download to the first waves of devices regarded as fully compatible. The company says the manual download option via Windows Update remains available for all users who check for updates on their devices.

Windows 10 version 1809 was originally published at the begining of October but pulled just a few days later due to a critical bug. The update was re-released in November with several upgrade blocks in place, and now Microsoft is dealing with partners on resolving these to make the latest version broadly available.
