Critical Windows 10 October 2018 Update Bug Deletes User Files During Install

A bug in Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) causes the complete removal of certain user files during the install of the new OS release.




Judging from user reports, the glitch is encountered when upgrading from Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to the October 2018 Update via Windows Update.

Files like documents, pictures, music, and videos stored in Windows 10 libraries are deleted without any warning, and at this point, it looks like they can’t be recovered if a backup wasn’t created before the upgrade.
No fix, no way to recover lost files
