If they're playing around with beta releases, as in the Insider Development program, it's not a good idea to use a computer with critical files on it. As for the rest who use Win10, the update has not been distributed, so it's a non-issue. wrong. 1809 was released last week to the public then later pulled on friday after people lost data. it was not an insider build. It was not "distributed".* It was available for "optional" download only. I got it automatically on a laptop of mine. yep. same here (although not a laptop). I did not get the update on my Win10 machine. Possible that had something to do with the fact that I have automatic updates turned off. IMHO the larger problem is that Win 10 updates *CAN* delete files. Also Win 10, by design, forces updates. The level of trust has been greatly compromised. Who really knows what files/folders/etc could be the target of some code "oops", let alone an actual targeted attack? -- == Later... Ron C -- |
