    Hold on -- you bought a new PC because of a software issue???

    And PCWorld, which is a magazine, "found the memory deleted" from your hard drive? There is no memory on a hard drive.

    Could you please send me the PC you're replacing? I'll gladly pay for shipping.

    Certainly going nuts here with my Windows 10 Laptop.  It boots to HP logo, goes to the screen where it says wait while we are preparing your computer, not to turn the computer off, etc. for a few seconds, of course it goes into a blank screen!  Then I SCREAM!!! I am not sure if this is due to the October update or if I have actually had a hardware failure.  I've tried everything known to bring it back up with the same results.  Any advice anyone?  Thanks...

    Installed October update with no problems losing files, documents are pictures on my desktop are laptop, I noticed that both had File history shut off.  Just curious if anyone that had lost their files had this option on before they updated?

    Grabbed the ISO on Tuesday 10/2 and have done 4 desktops with DVD in place upgrade and 1 laptop with a msdc in place over 1803 with no problems.  I keep my main data on separate hdd(s) and/or ssd(s); but also utilize the user/documents etc. structure for unimportant files.  Everything ported OK on all systems and I use OneDrive. I guess things are aligned for my systems this week as I usually get hit with these problems; hence the Important Data is always kept on Separate Drive(s) with redundant backups everywhere. Been using 2Brightsparks SynBackFree for Decades.

    Exactly. People don't understand the value of backups until they login one day and their drive has crashed and or the OS blew up. I do system images twice a week to a separate drive and my 4TB data drive gets backed up to a WD external 4TB twice a month. That ext drive then gets taken out of the loop so if anything happens to the system where everything is hosed, I still have my ext 4tb drive with all my data intact. I trust manual tactics far more than any automated backup suite. Just my opinion
