Windows 10 update reportedly deleting users' files

Windows 10 version 1809 may have yet another file-deleting bug

Windows 10 version 1809 may have yet another file-deleting bug 

It’s not Halloween yet but Windows 10 version 1809, a.k.a. the October 2018 update, is already starting to fill with horror stories from users. It won’t be long before the update becomes a scary anecdote in Microsoft’s history again. After it had pulled the problematic update for deleting the files of a few users, some Insiders are reporting that the supposedly fixed version of the update is again riddled with frightening errors. One that won’t directly delete your files but won’t tell you that it deleted them either.
The previous version 1809 bug resulted in data loss for what Microsoft says is 1 in every 10,000 users. This was due to how the update moved default folders, just as Documents or Pictures, to another location without actually moving the files in them. Microsoft pulled the update and gave it another round of testing among the brave souls that make up its testers. Sadly, bravery is indeed needed in this case yet again.
