"The 1809 build of Windows 10 and Windows Server is fast becoming
infamous, after Redmond pulled it shortly after release when it started
deleting people's files and stumbling in other ways. Redmond reissued
the software on Tuesday, and today it's clear you shouldn't rush into
deploying it, if installing it at all, in its present state."

The article points out the following major problems with the update:

* In Windows Explorer, a red X appears on the mapped network drives.
* Mapped network drives are displayed as Unavailable when you run the
net use command at a command prompt.
* In the notification area, a notification displays the following
message: 'Could not reconnect all network drives.'

oops. it gets worse:

"if you're using a Radeon HD2000 and HD4000 graphics card from AMD,
you're out of luck. The new Windows build will throw out an
"INVALID_POINTER_READ_c0000005_atidxx64.dll" error code and lock the
screen."

(another irritation is also mentioned, a sort of catch 22 involving a
manufacturer update)


After the PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED "forced update" problems, deleting all of
your data files being _ONE_ of those, loss of sound another, and
everything ELSE that could possibly go wrong, this "Murphy's Law" update
deserves the following SCHADENFREUDE from a Win-10-nic "denier":


HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!


Got Linux?
