Some have experienced data loss of their entire documents folder and other items. Back up your items and do not apply the update until MS can fix this. If you downloaded the update but it did not install you can follow these steps to delay the installation for 35 days. You also want to check off Pause Updates.

@SilencingTrees Backup all the things!

@thatwingsy
Yeah I'm doing that. I don't have much in the regular Documents folder, just the Downloads folder which is outside it. Either way, I'm disabling updates for now!

Basically set my connection to metered for now

Oh wait they've already been downloaded. Need to find another way

@SilencingTrees https://pureinfotech.com/prevent-windows-10-installing-april-2018-update-1803/ stops it from installing

@thatwingsy
I've checked it already but it doesn't work on my version of Windows 10 I think. I don't see some of those options
Show thread🌸yeensy wingsy 🤙🏳️‍🌈🌸Oct 5, 2018
@SilencingTrees Huh that's weird. It should be on all versions?
Show threadVascoOct 5, 2018
@thatwingsy
I think they mention later is only for the pro versions. Anyway I've just noticed these aren't pending Windows updates so it's fine
Show threadVascoOct 5, 2018
@thatwingsy Apparently the update only rolled over for people who checked for it manually, as microsoft hasn't pushed it yet
Show thread🌸yeensy wingsy 🤙🏳️‍🌈🌸Oct 5, 2018
@SilencingTrees I wonder if that's a way for them to "put the breaks" on the update because of the issue
Show threadVascoOct 5, 2018
@thatwingsy Nah I don't think so. The update is only set to roll out next week. You can still do it beforehand, but have to do so manually
Show thread🌸yeensy wingsy 🤙🏳️‍🌈🌸Oct 5, 2018
@SilencingTrees Ahh ok
Show threadVascoOct 5, 2018
@thatwingsy Also, I did some searching and read that windows sometimes creates an automatic profile during updates and moves your stuff there or something, so it isn't lost, just in another profile, and you can get it back
Show threadVascoOct 5, 2018
@thatwingsy This isn't necessarily the case this time though. It's just something that used to happen
Show threadcoyote dumbassOct 5, 2018
@thatwingsy do we know if the data loss is a common thing?
Show thread🌸yeensy wingsy 🤙🏳️‍🌈🌸Oct 5, 2018
@Dispregio I don't know. But this has happened to consumer as well as enterprise customers. It's probably large enough.
Show threadcoyote dumbassOct 5, 2018
@thatwingsy yyyikes. I'm on the newest update but luckily I have places to back stuff up so I should be ok

@Dispregio That's good!
Show threadKay Ohtie 🎈🌵🐺Oct 6, 2018
@thatwingsy @Dispregio The fact it hadn't been found until now means it's likely due to specific combinations of software and hardware. As others said...right now it's hard to pinpoint and most people have gotten on fine with the update. It's derp :(

@ceralor @Dispregio ive read that the preview copy had the same issue but wasnt fixed at release. According to the subreddit thread
