Microsoft resolves issue with Windows 10 disappearing files

Microsoft resolves issue with Windows 10 disappearing files

The new Windows 10 October update no longer removes files by accident. Microsoft says it has solved the problem, and that it wants to help users get their files back.

Microsoft says  to have found the cause of the problem. A new update is now being tested among beta users. If that is successful, other users can also download it. The most recent update for the operating system was withdrawn last week when it appeared that users lost documents, photos, and videos after installation.

Microsoft initially asked users not to install the update themselves but decided to stop the roll-out later. According to Microsoft, only a small number of users have lost files. As we reported yesterday already, those who have had bad luck can call a special helpline that Microsoft has set up. The company says it can not guarantee that users will actually get their files back. However, special software can help with this. Until then, users are advised to use their computers as little as possible.

What about breaking crucial modding tools such as FrostyTools suite (for running Frostbite games with mods) or CGF Explorer for modding Fifa.

No such a problem on Win 7 x64 Sp1. I will wait till Windows 10 gets out of the public beta stage during the following X years.

Dear Microsoft :
IYeah, how does something as major & detrimental as this bug, and its UNMISTAKABLY-NOTICEABLE and IMMEDIATE effects, go "unnoticed" by Microsoft itself and its 131,000 global employees? :mad:

How much could it cost? Put a few nerds in a room and test shit. Imagine that! :eek:
