Default Microsoft pulls Windows 10 October 2018 Update after reports of mass file deletion
.

“If you have manually downloaded the Windows 10 October 2018 Update installation media, please don’t install it and wait until new media is available,” the support site suggests. We recommend heeding the advice.

https://www.techconnect.com/article/...hconnect_daily


" This issue drives home the importance of backing up your data every time you upgrade to a new version of Windows 10. Upgrading isn’t as much of a hassle as it was pre-Windows 10, and new milestone releases roll out twice a year now, but tinkering with the very core of your operating system always carries some inherent risk. "

My update went as smooth as can be. All files still present and accounted for.

I always have multiple copies of my files via synchronous online storage and weekly archival to near line storage, so I was unconcerned about the risk. Truth is, I’ve had a long history of using Windows, and find it indispensable.
