Is this an automatic update that I can stop ?

The company managed to resolve the issue later and has deployed a fix.

It got me!. I turn crypto services off and it keeps turning back on. What a pain in the ass!

“We looked around and could not find other reports resembling such situations. The problem has been reported by a Japanese PC builder and enthusiast and some of the comments on the thread seem to indicate that others there may be experiencing similar issues. So it could be a region-specific thing too”

I 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.

Oh?

Should do the trick. (Obviously don’t try it unless you know what you are doing and know what may happen when it hits your EFI variables.)

Can't they just offer access to your data back at a discounted rate compared to what they charge their data partners for it?

Windows treats users like a product.

The reporter’s own “test” proves this is caused by faulty drives unable to sustain the speed they advertise, not Windows.

Cause we are to them. We are nothing more than monetized eye balls.

Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?

It looks like finally after almost ten years they will complete the dark mode on windows. But some buttons will still be with the light theme, they ran out of ai credits and need to wait for next month to replenish the free tier

I suppose, but reading the article, it seems this was related to a windows defender update. In other words the anti-virus became malware, again.

Linux users: "See what we mean?"

Windows users: "La la la! I can't hear you! Losing my data is a standard Windows feature!"

Your account seems to be marked as a bot, you can fix that in your user settings if it was unintentional

There is a difference between telling your computer to delete something and the computer complying, and doing a windows update only to find it's corrupted your data or straight up killed your disk.

I'm not going to get angry when I tell my PC to delete a file and it actually does it.

Maybe ? I know R/W speeds used to be a lot slower in Windows than Linux but I thought they fixed that a few years ago.

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 mostly related to Windows Defender intercepting reads and writes and hasn't truly been fixed.

Sometimes it's literally faster to read a database using WSL than the native system.
