Windows 10: October Update may delete your files ander C:\\users\

in #news6 years ago (edited)

There are reports that the October update of Windows 10 deletes files inside the C:\users\ directory.

Commenter on Reddit said this is known to Microsoft as it also happened in the "beta tester" Windows Insider group.

I would laugh, but I have lost that ability two of those blunders ago.

You may want to make a backup of your files NOW, before Win 10 unpreventably auto-installs the update and restarts your machine.
