Strange 1809 behavior

[Wersoo]

For a past few months I have upgraded/installed dozens of machines with Windows 10 1809. Never have I ever experienced file loss and/or profile overwriting. Am I doing something wrong?

Me neither, or at least I don't have data that I care on Windows so I don't check it

Most people don't have issues with 1809. That said, Microsoft have fixed the most important issues, which was the data loss issue. It was a critical issue that slip through the cracks. Microsoft has quickly pulled the updated after being released, and delayed the release until it was fixed.

 

Then media goes crazy because for the first time, Microsoft is sharing where it puts update blocks, to explain why some people have the new update and why other don't. Before (including past Windows versions), this information was not shared publicly. So those who really wanted an updated had to wait months before getting it, it made the more tech savvy find ways to force the upgrade, only to complain about issues.
