Missing folders after forced update?

Microsoft's Incompetence is Astounding!! I can just imagine the panic a Lawyer or a photographer felt on opening there computer after a Forced update to see all there files gone. Microsoft needs to be sued into oblivion.

Say, i was non tech and missed my filing deadline because microsoft broke into my computer and hid all my files, so i am now on the hook for 100Gs? The potential lawsuits are immense!

Lets put it another way.

It has been a number of years since Windows 10 was released and there have been a lot of information given to the public about the update procedure  and if they do not read it is not Microsoft's problem but their own.

My wife got Windows 10 when it was first offered to the public and the only 2 things have happened.  First we got a new computer and moved the hadr drive from the old one to the new one.  Note the new one had Windows activated. Then I upped her RAM to 8GB from the 4GB.  She has never said that she has lost any files with all of the updates so far.

so somehow because of your experience no one else could of been harmed by Microsoft? This is your argument, my car is perfectly fine, my Firestone tires are perfectly fine ,my tire has never burst, therefore all Firestone Tires and all cars are fine and no manufacture should ever be sued. The argument is so idiotic and juvenile it doesn't shouldn't even really be responded to but because I'm bored...

You say it is juvenile but have you read anything?

I have spent the last 4 3/4 years trying to help Microsoft to not make mistakes by testing things before they are released to the public.  I have an idea that a lot of those "missing folders" are not missing but are located in another place.

What people assume is that the folders in Quick Access is where the folders are when the folders are really in C:\users\user name\folder name.
