Doesn't help users who ran Storage Sense and deleted the OLD folder

as others have mentioned, backups should have been made before the upgrade which would have quickly solved missing files.

My original post also suggested doing an image backup prior to doing the update.

I wish I had but a little to late to do that now. My only option now is to reset my PC

What do you think that is going to fix $:-\$ try running the latest Windows cumulative update and see if it helps fix whatever problem you've created now.

I got that in my updates yesterday.

Why don't you just reinstall whatever program it is that isn't working and move on with it, if your audio is messed up reinstall the audio driver.

Well after revocation Windows will now let Windows Insiders ponder over it:
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/10/09/updated-version-of-windows-10-october-2018-update-released-to-windows-insiders/

Why it was not a immutable good modular design in the first place?

This especially while the update was also meant for home-users.

Ground zero was there was a "delete of files",
while at the same time there is no guaranteed certainty an undelete will succeed.

When you make changes to the default settings, the chance of something not working properly always exists.
We know that quite well when people make changes in the default path etc of an Avast install.
The Windows OS is a lot more complicated.
I agree that since that option which caused the problem for some was something Microsoft made available, they should have made an allowance for it but,
those things happen.
An Image backup prior to the update would have made recovery very easy. The fault lies as much with the user as with MS IMHO.

Hi bob3160,

Stressing the importance of back-ups and patching. Will they ever learn?

I did a system restore and put the date to October 2nd, the date before I got the fall creators update. When it finished and restarted the date was Oct. 3rd so I still have version 1809. What a waste of time that was.

What do you mean by "put the date of October 2nd"

midnight · « **Reply #1841 on:** October 11, 2018, 01:04:45 AM »

October 2nd was the day before I installed the fall creators update

If you didn't set/create (or have an Auto create) a new System Restore point on the 2nd of October, you can't select something that doesn't exist.

I'm fortunate to not have suffered in the Oct update nor have I received any unwanted Bsods from the Win 10 Patch. Lucky I guess.
But certainly makes on very weary of accepting to update until others have cleared the way.
