A strange thing happen to me on the way to a OS update.

Was upateding my Windows 10 64bit to the latest 1903 version. And my system completely crapped its self.  It somehow rolled my system back to a April 2019 recovery point, plus got rid of my WIFI drivers. Took me 3 hours to sort it all out. Had to rest the BIOS to get my WIFI back.  It even reinstalled programs I had uninstalled. Does anyone have any idea what the hell happened? Or do I need to call in a priest or a vooduan?

Funny thing is, I did not roll it back, it did it all on it's own, after it rebooted the last time. I have everything backed up on site and off but I still do not know where it pulled the backup from.

Yeah it should auto roll when error occurred. When doing major update, windows will backup all necessary files from the previous version (windows_old folder). That's why it need some free space to upgrade.

I understand that but it skipped over 6 months of backups to get to that one. I checked the one it skipped over and they were fine./ shrug. Only the Pope Of Windows knows what in the minds of windows. thank.
