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

Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?
How's that vibe coding working out for ya?
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
Didn't they proudly say how much of windows is AI generated slop code a few months ago?
I think it has more to do with the new atomic update and their now-usual not-testing aproach.
“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”
Can't they just offer access to your data back at a discounted rate compared to what they charge their data partners for it?
Is this an automatic update that I can stop ?
The company managed to resolve the issue later and has deployed a fix.
Linux users: "See what we mean?"
Windows users: "La la la! I can't hear you! Losing my data is clearly better than having to learn something new!"
Linux users: "See what we mean?"
Windows users: "La la la! I can't hear you! Losing my data is a standard Windows feature!"
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.
Bah, each time I want to do the manual upgrade from 23h2 I have to postpone it again due to some stupid bug or annoying feature that makes me reconsider doing it.
If I was a librarian and my card catalog started exploding, I would have a fit. Those are not easy to put together.
Yeah but luckily by the mid 80s it was completely digitized and just there in the basement for reference.
That's not my data.
Again? I swear I saw this a month or two ago.
They're using Grok to translate?
They probably used copilot to write the code. It compiled so they shipped it.
Take that deniers!
"You have destroyed the very thing you swore to become" also works.
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.
It got me!. I turn crypto services off and it keeps turning back on. What a pain in the ass!
