Just a warning for anons who use windows 10 and aren't aware of an issue lately with microshaft's October updates with a file deletion bug on your computer.
>As Microsoft revealed, only people who clicked “Check for Updates” got bitten by Windows 10’s file deletion bug. When you click the “Check for Updates” button, Microsoft gives you updates early, skipping a normal part of the testing process.
>Did you catch that? Microsoft basically said “We encourage you not to click “Check for Updates” unless you’re an advanced user who wants the update early.”
>Why Does “Check for Updates” Do This?!
>This would all be fine except for the part where clicking “Check for Updates” skips the orderly, safe testing process and pushes you to the front of the line. Most Windows 10 users don’t realize this, and that’s a problem.
>This change in the behavior of the “Check for Updates” button was first made with the April 2018 Update and continued with the October 2018 Update. Previously, you had to download the Update Assistant tool and run it to upgrade early. This tool is still available, but now the “Check for Updates” button does the same thing.
>The Windows team clearly believes that updates are so stable they can be offered in this way. After all, this makes them easier for average Windows users to install! But Microsoft is overconfident.
>Of course, due to the nature of Windows 10 updates, you can’t stop Windows Update once it starts downloading an update. So, when you click “Check for Updates” and a major update starts downloading early, there’s no “Oops” button that will cancel and tell Windows 10 to wait. That update is downloading and installing right now, whether you like it or not.
>Sure, you can always roll back to your old version of Windows 10 after installing the update. But, as we saw with the original October 2018 Update, that might not be a good enough—the files would have been deleted, anyway.
>We hope Microsoft reconsiders this approach. A button in Settings that says “Install the Latest Update Now” would be fine, but “Check for Updates” shouldn’t signal you want untested updates. Windows users don’t know or understand this.

Funny just in time to fuck someone's computer up before the midterms. Some snowflakes at microshaft I bet.
