Microsoft Warns Windows 10 Update Deletes Personal Data

RAJUPILLAY2197

[br] [br]Although Microsoft introduced new Windows 10 monthly charges, that has not improved the quality of its updates. In fact, Microsoft has just warned all Windows 10 users that its latest upgrade may permanently delete their personal data… [br][br]Microsoft’s admission comes after angry Windows 10 users took to Reddit (1,2), Spiceworks and the company’s own support site warning others to urgently postpone the major 1809 update. And, worse still, it turns out this should’ve been preventable.[br][br]We have paused the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) for all users as we investigate isolated reports of users missing some files after updating.”[br][br][br] [br]Perhaps the worst part about all this is it turns out Windows Insiders had been warning Microsoft about this for months.[br][br]Unfortunately, the reports were either lost or ignored. Something which has prompted even the most ardent Microsoft fans to attack the company.[br][br]As it stands, there is no information on how or why the data loss occurred and Microsoft has not provided any timescale as to when the 1809 rollout will resume.[br][br]Windows 10 users have long demanded Microsoft give them greater control over updates, and this is just the latest in a string of incidents. Notably, in January Windows 10 updates turned PCs with AMD hardware into an “unbootable state“, while a major April update was pulled after reports it was causing the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD).[br][br]That said it is the automated and permanent deletion of user data which is, without doubt, the number one nightmare scenario of any user on any platform. If you weren’t already, now would be a very good time to invest in an external backup drive and make sure you set to it sync at least once a day…[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India.....
