As for the rest who use Win10, the update has not been distributed, so it's a non-issue. -- best regards, Neil |

Actually, there was no problem with the Insider version, but, like you suggest, I would not use a beta for "production". A few early downloaders did see the issue, so I hope they had good backups. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

Of course, one of my PC's hasn't updated versions for the last 18 months because of some weird issue, so there was no risk with that one.... And it really looks like it's just a few unlucky people who lost files anyway. |
