Windows 10 this month the October 2018 Update was launched by the Microsoft company, but unfortunately the update came with a very big problem because of which the users' files were deleted when the update was installed. Microsoft withdrew the October 2018 Update for Windows 10 with the idea of solving that problem, and released a new version, which theoretically solved the problem, but unfortunately it seems that another one appeared, which deletes other files.
Windows 10 now has another problem in the October 2018 Update, this time deleting files affecting archives that are moved by users from one place to another, something that normally shouldn't happen. According to Windows 10 users who are affected by this problem, when an archive is moved between two files, if there is an overlap of the files, the operating system will no longer ask if it can overwrite them, but will do it automatically .
WINDOWS 10: THE BIG NEW PROBLEM with File Deletion
Windows 10 fails in certain cases to move the archives properly, and since it does not ask users if it can overwrite the files, when this fails, the files disappear completely. Windows 10 has this problem in version 1809 offered by Microsoft, so all those who have it, and are thinking of transferring archives between files, should only use the copy function, not the move function, because they risk to remain without files.
"I noticed that whenever I move something out of a zip, the "do you want to replace these files" dialogue never shows up, it just does it. I've reinstalled windows and it still does it, it's only on the October update. Pretty nasty bug since you can accidentally overwrite a file and have no way of getting it back."
Windows 10 does not currently have this problem officially recognized by Microsoft, they say that in the case of the initial version of the October 2018 Update, 1 out of 10.000 users lost files during the update. If we extrapolate this report to the hundreds of millions of people who use Windows 10, we arrive at a fairly large number of people who have lost files because of Microsoft and updates that were not tested well enough before being released.
