Windows 10: Windows 10 update 20h2 wants to delete everything and start clean.

I went to update my Windows and was told my machine is ready for Windows 10 update 20h2. However once the update downloaded and went through it's steps, I was prompted to 'Choose what to keep' and the ONLY option is NOTHING: Everything will be deleted, including files, apps and settings.


The option to keep personal files and apps and keeps personal files only are greyed out. Only the option to delete everything is available so what the heck?


I am not deleting everything and I'm not even sure why Windows would do this during an upgrade. None of my other devices prompted for this so why is this happening?


Windows 10 Pro


Any help would be appreciated!
