    Last night 1-19-22 Auto updated 21H2 OS: 19044.1469 caused desktop screen to lose all but 4 icons, printer gone, all data, music, picture files etc. missing. Apparently update disabled my USER profile, as all this info appears to be present using M/S File Explorer OS C > Users > my profile name. Is there an update from M/S to fix this M/S caused problem?Did some research and found "Restarting NOT Shut Down 4 times after seeing desktop screen each time" waited 3 to 4 mins after seeing each Desktop screen did not resolve issue; but appeared to fix some things. Author next suggested

    :)

    Microsoft Auto-Updates Components of Windows Without User Permission

    The nine files that are updated all have to do with the Auto-Updater itself.
    The article lists them all. No big deal.

    I run auto-update anyway, so BRING ON THE NEW UPDATES !!!
    I have yet to experience any problems from MS updates on my XP network.
