Windows 10: Windows 10 October update ZIP files overwrite confirmation bug likely to get fixed

Windows 10 version 1809, also known as October 2018 Update was pulled by Microsoft after isolated reports of data deletion. Windows 10 October 2018 Update is under fire once again for a bug where the system does not display the ZIP files overwrite confirmation popup but it’s not a critical issue and Microsoft has already figured out a fix.

According to reports from Reddit, a bug in Windows 10 October 2018 Update causes the overwrite confirmation to go missing from ZIP files.


Example of overwrite confirmation message

The overwrite confirmation is not displayed if you extract a ZIP file in a folder where an item with the same name already exists. This causes the data to be overwritten automatically.

Microsoft has already figured out a fix


It turns out that Microsoft has already figured out a fix for the alleged issue as we discovered that the bug has been addressed in latest Windows 10 19H1 preview builds. In our testing, we haven’t been able to reproduce the bug in the Windows 10 Build 18262.

It’s likely that the next patch for Windows 10 October 2018 Update will also address this issue as the bug no longer exists in preview builds of Spring 2019 update codenamed “19H1”.

Rafael Rivera noticed that this particular bug has been previously reported by Windows Insiders over the past few months but it apparently went unnoticed as the issue was experienced by some users.

Whoa, that's my bug (I'm Jacob K)! I just tested it on 18262, using the steps I wrote down, and couldn't get it to repro, so … I don't know, might be fixed in 19H1?

Windows 10 October 2018 Update has been pulled so the issue happens on some devices that were upgraded when the update was live. Microsoft is yet to acknowledge the bug in Windows 10 version 1809 (October Update) but judging from the number of reports, this is not a widespread bug and it only affects the device making use of built-in tool to extract files.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
