"isolated reports"
Enough to completely halt the entire rollout lol
It's more than likely a lot of people don't notice missing files, and so the issue is more widespread than Micro$haft want people to believe.

Seriously ... it was more important for them to go to Florida for ignite for an entire week rather than fix this pile of garbage.
Wouldn't make any difference with the current windows team, they could release 1 every 3 years and it would still be just as broken

This is exactly correct. I didn't notice right away. It wasn't until I was grabbing a file with IDM and it asked to create a new directory...that was the WFT moment. Every folder in Downloads was missing. I might not have even noticed for longer because typically I don't use the default IDM folders except for stuff like PDF release notes and stuff like that so it is all in one place to get rid of.

Apparently even MS doesn't know. I had this issue doing the insider update via Windows Update once it appeared this version was RTM. So, it is not only a manual download either.
