All I know is it is rare for me to load up one of my Windows 10 devices and not have updates pending
even if it is just smaller ones. Which is multiplied in irritation when you have multiple Windows 10 devices (not through choice).October 2018 Update Pulled - Having issues?

Eh? I don't follow your 69-83 thing.
The main cumulative update is on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month (aka Patch Tuesday). There's usually a Flash Player update as well. Anything after that is out of band.
the kb patches listed on the wiki page (maybe not the best resource) each have a numerically incrementing footnote reference number which went from **69->**83 for 1803 update, making 15 kb patches.
Yeah, that's not a good resource. Try the official MS page : https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4099479 which will tell you what was in each update.
Short version of what usually happens is ... update comes out 2nd Tuesday of the month and goes out to the plebs running the home version and a handful of corporate guinea pig machines (if your IT dept doesn't suck). It invariably breaks applications, drivers and HP machines as it hasn't been properly tested by Microsoft and they've ignored the insider "feedback" at which point Microsoft scramble to unbreak things over the next couple of weeks. They then expire the original banjaxed patch Tuesday update and replace it.
This is why we've got a minimum two week delay of issuing the patches at work...

That is one of the reasons why we are entirely back on 7 and moved a lot of systems to Linux at work (not on my say I have no influence over that). IT doesn't seem to like Windows 10 any more than I do - probably because it makes more work for them :s

Both my dell xps 13 and my custom build desktop windows 10 machines keeps sayin that my system is up to dat with 1803?!?!?!?
Given my choice I'd have kept everything on 7, but management said otherwise back in late 2015.
I've since changed jobs to go do DevOps, so it's someone else's problem to feature update a couple thousand machines from 1511 to something current.
I just realised the NHS have also taken the kings shilling.
no update from them yet on re-release https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/author/john-cable/
can an individual see MS information on failure reports/counts from the field, or is it just 3rd party circumstantial information.
(although car manufactureres or tv manufactureres do not reveal it either , the number of customers and significance of 'OS' failure impacts prouductivity more )
edit: wrong - fix is being tested by insiders https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/9okjt9/is_it_safe_to_download_1809_redstone_5_oct_2018/
says it all
Microsoft needs to refocus on Windows 10 fundamentals, not just new features
they all succumb.

AFAIK still not officially / generally released.
Look here if you know what to do with ISO files and are confident the account file deletion issue won't affect you:
