Windows 10: Nov 2018 Windows Update & Missing AppData

Latest Windows update (Nov. 2018) resulted in a black screen. MS assisted with Custom Reinstall, but PC is now running exceptionally slow & not all of my User data was copied over to the Windows.old file. I am now unable to run anything to try to fix the PC and will likely need to wipe the PC and start over. Before doing so I would like to first recover my missing AppData file.


Has anyone been able to recover their missing User data after this November 2018 update? (I am unable to locate using search in IE, etc.)

Services missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10

Multiple customers have reached out to me because a Windows Service that I have made is missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10.

Some customers have also reported that other services are missing, like Cisco VPN client.



I’m able to repro using the following:

1. Install Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) from MSDN.
2. Run the installer for my service, and verify that it’s in the service-list.
   
   I have also tried to manually create the service using SC / InstallUtil, with the same outcome.

1. Restart the machine.
2. (Re-)validate that the service exists, and that it works as intended.
3. Update the machine with the newest updates, including 1803 (April 2018 Update).
4. Restart the machine as part of the update.

Result: The application-files still exist, however, the service is no longer registered.



Running the installer again, or re-creating the service manually using SC/InstallUtil works.



Have Microsoft put new rules in place for services or what’s happening?

The service itself is a very basic service with a valid digital signature.

It is installed in the users local AppData-folder (%localappdata%).





The following updates are applied in step 5:

• Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803
  
• Security update for Adobe Flash Player: June 7, 2018 [KB 4287903]
  
• Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus [KB 2267602]
• Update for Windows Defender antimalware platform [KB 4052623]
• Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus [KB 2267602]
  
• Remove specific prevalent malware with Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool [KB 890830]
