Many users are reporting massive data loss following the October 2018 Windows 10 update. Personal files are being deleted and hard drives are being corrupted in addition to several performance glitches. Users who have received the update are reporting all of their personal files such as documents, music, pictures, and videos being deleted following the update.
Some people have lost hundreds of gigabytes of data. These files are completely disappearing following the update – they do not wind up in the recycle bin, they are completely gone.

UPDATE: “Microsoft have confirmed this issue and paused the Windows 10 October
1809 update until the bug can be resolved.”

Check out other wonderful pieces from the zine here!
