Windows 10: Desktop wiped out after most recent Windows update: December 10, 2024—KB5048652 OS Builds...

Hello - one of my kids clicked thru the Windows update this week December 10, 2024—KB5048652 OS Builds 19044.5247 and 19045.5247 to install it without knowing what it was for. When the compute restarted, everything that was on my current desktop, including files, is gone. The update seems to have reverted the system to a previous backup from a few years ago. Has anyone else experienced this problem with this current update?Dell Inspiron 5490 AIOWindows 10 HomeIntelR CoreTM i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz 408 MHzIs there a way I can rescind the update and restore our previous desktop and file

Can not update to the December 12, 2017—KB4054517 (OS Build 16299.125) update.

FWIW...

At least MS has now acknowledged this issue: "Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release."
