[SOLVED] Quesions about Windows 10 update KB4532693

[gamersunite23]

So I've seen a few articles on windows latest, most recently https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/02/18/reports-windows-10-update-data-deletion-bug/ basically saying it'll hide files in a temp folder, cause bsod and boot errors, etc. a lot of horror stories including even after uninstalling it the files and everything are completely gone leading to a clean system reinstall. my big questions are; Is it really that bad and widespread? Is there a workaround that doesn't involve going and moving the stuff from the temp file and or having to contact Microsoft? Finally, what happens if worse comes to worse and I have to reinstall windows 10, will doing this update just cause an endless cycle of this problem? because I can't pause updates forever and hope they either pull this one or fix it soon. It kinda sucks that there's been problem after problem with windows 10 updates lately.

It is not 'widespread'.
There are issues with every single OS update, since OS updates existed. Apple, Linux. Windows, Android, whatever.

As always, have backups.
