Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro Update version 1809 (10-2-18)

On 10-3-2018, I updated Windows 10 Pro 64 bit on my desktop PC to the October 2018 version 1809 update. The version 1809 update deleted all of my personal files (all documents, pictures, videos & Firefox 64 bookmarks). I have backups for all of these personal documents. I have never updated Windows and had all of my personal files deleted in the process. Also, Microsoft Edge will not start in version 1809. I am very, very unhappy with Microsoft releasing version 1809 and having all of my personal files deleted during the update process. Microsoft should test their products before releasing their products to the general public. JK (10-4-18)

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

And, some info from the FAQ page:

Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

GPU-Z update loop (Windows 10 64-bit)

I don't have better steps - this is all, I have nothing to add.

Maybe it is worth noting issue was on Windows 10 Enterprise, build 14393.187, so maybe you should test on the same.
My other PCs have a different Windows 10 version - Pro, latest Insider Preview build from last week, and there is no such issue on those.
All are 64-bit edition of Windows 10.

This issue is not new. I have had same 1-2 years ago too, with older GPU-Z versions.

EDIT: And yes, I have Windows 10 UAC enabled and set to defaults. If you are using your Windows PCs with UAC off, you likely cannot reproduce this issue. *Smile
