That is funny, "The vulnerability was discovered around the Windows 10 April 2018 update and has not been resolved to this day". -a solution is being worked on as soon as possible. like really soon or another 3 years?

Microsoft at it best? Not sure I surpised by anything MS or Windows anymore, just know i getting tired of having to baby sit it @Hilbert Hagedoorn Maybe you should remove said command

Does this impact Windows NT up to 8.1 as well? Same file system! Can someone try this in a VM?

Tested the shortcut icon method, and no repro. not that windows 8 doesn't have its own troubles, the defrag api has a double write handle issue that can trigger on ntfs compressed winsxs payload files.

There is no relation between file system and underlying type of disk. FAT32 has limitations like maximum size of file due to data structures in use, it has no some features like transactions (kinda), intrinsic compression and encryption... But still it has its niche. It is free for use and it is easier to implement in firmware, so most of media players (and maybe phones) use it to format its storage. There is updated version - exFAT.

Yes i was also thinking regarding size-limits. I remember trying to copy a file that was around 4 GB to a fat32 disk a long time ago, it was a no go :P
