Η ενημερωμένη έκδοση των Windows 10 KB4532693 φαίνεται ότι διαγράφει archives of users. After the release of Windows 4532693 cumulative update KB10, users started reporting that the desktop of their computer and the Start menu were returned to their default settings. They also report that they cannot find files they had saved to their profile.
After research, it was discovered that when installing the update, the user profile was renamed to a temporary profile, while a .000 or .bak extension was added to the regular profile. When the update ended, an error prevented the normal user from being restored.
To resolve the issue, users found that they had to restart Windows a few times or uninstall the update to restore their normal profile.
But problems with this update can be much worse than profiles that do not return after the update.
Comments on WindowsLatest.com, users at Forums of Microsoft and on Twitter reported [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] that their user profile and files are completely missing and that they had to use copies security to restore their deleted files.
If the user profile is deleted, it means that all the files stored in the "Documents", "Downloads", "Music", "Pictures" and "Videos" folders are also deleted. Of course any data stored under the user profile is included.
Note that this is not the first time a Windows 10 update has resulted in the deletion of user data.
When it was released Windows 10 October 2018 Update, many users lost their data which led Microsoft to withdraw the update until it fixes it.
What to do if you lack data
If the data is missing after installing the cumulative update KB4532693, first open the C: \ users folder and see if the folders end with the .bak or .000 extensions.
If these folders exist, one of them is probably your initial profile and you can open the folder to check if your data exists.
If your data exists, we recommend backing it up to an external drive disk or a cloud service so you don't lose them.
Then you need to restart Windows 10 a few times to see if your profile is restored. If it does not return, disable update KB4532693.
