    19 april 2021. thanks windows for turning a night pos-meeting a nightmare and losing everything.

    you cant force people to update machines. if you do, make sure everything is recovered. even unsaved documents. idk. freeze threads and recreate them

    this is nonsense

    None of these methods worked.  This is the 4th time this has happened and it's extremely aggravating.
