Windows 10: Windows 10 Version 1809 Update deleting Network and Internet Settings File

I updated my laptop Acer Aspire three days back to windows 10 Version 1809 and since then my Laptop does not connect automatically to Wireless Broadband connection. Every time I switch on the laptop, I have to open the Network and Internet settings and go to Troubleshoot. It takes about 2 minutes for the troubleshoot to say that the problem is fixed. It is irritating and time consuming. Please correct this update mistake.

I want to confirm the exact same issue as Robert Ziko has reported.

On 03-10 I read there was an update out ran the following updates from Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update:

Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809

Definition Update KB2267602 (Definition 1.27.599.0)

Definition Update KB2267602 (Definition 1.27.595.0)

Definition Update KB2267602 (Definition 1.27.571.0)

Windows Specifications:

Edition Windows 10 Pro

Verson 1809

Installed on 03-10-2018

OS build 17763.1

This is a fairly recent Windows 10 Pro install, not an upgrade for a previous version of Windows. The eventlog was purged after the install of 1809 (some workplaces would call this a security incident).

The C:\Users\kay_h\Documents folder was empty

The C:\Windows.old\Users\kay_h\Documents was removed or didn't exist before

The C:\Windows.old\Users\kay_h\ profile was nearly empty basically only contained some C:\Windows.old\Users\kay_h\AppData\Local data. It does have a NTUSER.DAT with the timestamp of the upgrade tot 1809.

I did try to get the some files back with undelete tooling, without success. I was specifically interested in some VMs but they where very large (>100GB) and the drive had <40GB free. Interestingly there were no deleted files with the time stamp of the update,
possibly the data wasn't deleted but misplaced, moved or lost by some other process then deleting.

Totally unfounded & wild speculation: The C:\Windows.old\ folder was used as a placeholder dir in the update process and someone forgot to prepare or made a type-0 in C:\Windows.old\Users\%username%\Documents folder as a target for file movement.

 

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
