    windows updates destroying my hard work


    Yesterday I was working from 9am to around 11pm on windows 10. I went to sleep, to find out windows updated in the mean time. my question is - how come there was no warning? i was there 1h before the restart... no warning. lots of work lost. i can't remember which files were open as reminders - particularly word, excel, and pdfs. I love ubuntu so much. i just wish more people used it so that Apps feel obliged to make linux versions. i have nothing but contempt for you.

    :)

    Cumulative Update KB4338819 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.165 - July 10

    This update totally destroyed me, which was not totally unexpected.

    I have noticed that update issues are fairly common occurrences.

    Microsoft must have a site that lists step by step actions that they want you to take when Windows 10 Updates and trashes a system?

    Does such a site exist? Where do I go to get help?

    Recovering Windows 10 After an Update

    Step 1:
    sfc /scannow

    Step 2:
    Dism

    Step 3:
    etc.. Uninstall Video Drivers and reinstall

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
