Windows 10<\/a>’s seemingly never-ending run of faulty updates is continuing to impact users, with reports emerging that Windows 10 KB4532693 is deleting files on some people’s PCs.<\/p>\n We’ve previously reported that KB4532693 was causing some serious issues<\/a> for Windows 10 users, with people’s Start menus and desktops reverting to their default states.<\/p>\n However, it seems that issue is even more serious than first thought, as it appears that it is deleting any files saved on the desktop as well.<\/p>\n Some people have been able to restore their files – it appears the update is renaming and moving their user profile – but it seems that many people have found they are unable to restore the files that were deleted.<\/p>\n While changing the user profile back to its default settings is annoying, if an update is faulty enough that it’s actually deleting users’ files, then this is very serious indeed.<\/p>\n We don’t know how widespread this issue is, with Windows Latest<\/a> quoting several users on Microsoft’s forums<\/a>, and Microsoft itself has yet to comment. Hopefully this is cleaned up quickly.<\/p>\n We also reported that the Windows 10 KB4524244 update was causing issues for users, and it’s now been pulled by Microsoft – so the update will no longer be automatically downloaded.<\/p>\n This update was causing issues with HP devices because of its Sure Start Secure Boot Key Protection.<\/p>\n This is yet another example of a faulty Windows 10 update, and Microsoft needs to act fast to fix these problems and ensure future updates are not affected.<\/p>\n\n
