I know people who were affected when a Windows 10 update just straight up deleted all personal files in 2020.
Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data
chunes@lemmy.world 1 day agoI have literally never had one of these things happen to me before. I’m pretty sure people just make them up for clicks at this point.

Cool story, I’m sure no one using Linux has ever lost any data ever.

This was an issue that appeared when writing heavy files to disks (50gb+), so people that werent doing it were safe. And don’t worry, its a matter of when LOL. I was a windows “virgin” until one day my system drive appeared encrypted and locked by bitlocker when I never activated it, nor had any recovery key.

That’s not how it works lol. It doesn’t just randomly encrypt your hdd and lock you out lol. User error.

Jesus, what a scam. Why does anyone put up with this?

Windows 11 only comes in 64 bit flavors so this would be a weird feature to leave in place.

I’m not using any software that doesn’t have an upward swipe gesture for jumplists. How can people stand losing features like this?

IMO, the Windows Subsystems is kind of cool. WSL 1 used it too.
