According to what Dona Sarkar said on Twitter, it's "nothing or all", if you see any files in user folders, it should be ok.

after all this, i wouldn't be surprised to see that the cause was the user put a checked mark on do not keep files when upgrading.
i downloaded 1809 manually and did not encounter any deleted files. on the same note, since Win10 was released i have upgraded and upgraded and never encountered any issues. well there was one time that i have to do a fresh install due to a corrupt hd but also upgraded from there with no problems.
FYI, you CAN make a Shortcut to a hidden folder to save keeping on hiding/unhiding.
Unhide using File Explorer > View and tick "Hidden Items"
Go to the folder in question, make a Shortcut and move the Shortcut to the Desktop (or wherever is convenient)
Then Untick "Hidden Items" as above.
Despite the folder being hidden, the new shortcut will still take you straight there.![]()
I keep one in second online HDD and another offline (I just copy .mrimg), mostly keep only one, last backup but in a third place (another offline disk) a pure non-modified one with some essential programs. To me, it's more important to keep backups of important, personal files. OS and programs can always be replaced, it's just more convenient to just restore backup.
Not entirely true. In a lot of cases yes, but there are situations where files can be lost on a clean install.
Assuming you have files stored in the cloud on say OneDrive. And Windows then decides to sync your empty profile "too" OneDrive and make all its folder empty to match. Instead of doing the other and pull the files "from" OneDrive to your PC. Which is sounding like what "might" be happening with this file lose thing? If the dust ever settles and we get some real answers.
And I've had my second hard drive, the one with all my data on it turned to RAW. Can't remeber if it was an upgrade or clean install though. I always have files on a second drive or partition which could potentially be lost on a clean install. If Windows glitches or I pick the wrong partition to install to.
Since upgrading to 1809 on our pc which loaded ok then after a couple of days when I start pc it opens with a multitude of my home page on its own how can I stop it still using win explorer 11
