I ran the October update and lost my Desktop folder. After install, a dialog box appears: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable ..."
Out of curiosity... why was your desktop folder there? That is a really weird place for it.

An OS used by billions of people including government agencies, hospitals, and nonprofits is not some videogame that needs new content. It's mission critical software, and these utter delinquents are treating it like a Steam early release. If MS won't get its act together, they should be regulated, broken up, or have their OS seized by eminent domain for the public good.

If you're really tired of this shit, then get LTSB.
This article is super deceptive, these two bugs are completely unrelated, and the one still standing is pretty obscure: 1. You're extracting a Zip file and intend to overwrite your own data 2. The data isn't overwritten, but it doesn't tell you about it 3. You delete the Zip file, thinking that it's extracted. I'm not discounting that this is a Bug, but I can't think of a time I would've ever lost data because of thi…

Seized, absolutely not. Of course since the government already has the source there is nothing that needs to be seized. The government can just declare the temporary monopoly that they granted on copying it to be over (to be clear, this would take an act of congress...). I'd almost be sympathetic to them doing that - but I also think the outcome would be absolutely terrible. Necessary maintenance (fixing security bug…
IANAL, but I think that would violate the Constitutional prohibition of Bills of Attainder.

Sounds like Linux-class bugs (e.g. KDE copy/paste not working correctly sometimes[0]). I guess Windows has lost its advantage of perceived quality. [0]: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9a7k2i/psa_on_kde_ne...
