Windows 10: Deleted Open Office Files

I performed a Microsoft Update last night and it deleted a year's worth of files! Way to go Microsoft! You just get better and better! Not only that, the files were mainly Open Office files. Nice way to take out the supposed "competition." Some day some judge will finally come after you and your shady practices. This is not the fist time I have lost files after and update and I'm sure I am not the only one.Shameful! I'd ask for help, but I doubt any will be coming, or they will be empty suggestions. SO do I have a question? Yes! When will you stop this kind of underhanded practice? I'm sure it
