Windows autumn update failed

Microsoft has withdrawn the current autumn update for Windows 10 (version 1809). Several users complained after the update about missing data on their hard drive. A Reddit user reported that 60 GB of music files had disappeared on his hard drive after installing version 1809. Apparently computers with older Intel processors are affected.

What should Windows 10 users do now?

If you have already installed version 1809, you should check to see if any data has been lost. If so, you can retrieve it via the last restore point. However, it is more likely that you have not lost any data because the problem has only occurred with very few users.

If you have already downloaded version 1809 but have not yet installed it, you should not install it and wait until Microsoft provides a clean version of this update.

If you have not yet downloaded version 1809, there is no need to take action after Microsoft has switched off the downloads.
