Well, I don't have that. I'm certain!That’s why Application Guard requires you have a PC with either Intel VT-X or AMD-V virtualization hardware.
That's worse than I thought!
Maybe One Drive related as I disabled it here as an unwanted annoyance and the small amount of unimportant documents I actually have in Microsoft's folders on the three PC's I updated remained intact, anything important is on different drives and backed up twice on external drives, as are the system drives as well, so wouldn't have been much of an issue here anyway.
Going to be many though that won't even know what a backup is, if nothing else it may encourage those affected to find out how to backup stuff properly.
In an ideal world, people would make a backup immediately before every Feature Update.
But these updates happen without user intervention. Windows 10 doesn't require you or prompt you to make a backup, it just goes ahead and does the update without asking.
So even the user who takes, say, a weekly backup (more organised than me!) won't get the opportunity to do a new backup at quite the right time and therefore would always have a risk of some data loss if the update isn't working properly.
By working in this way without user intervention, Microsoft are effectively taking responsibility for data loss - you can't blame users unless they are given the explicit opportunity to make a backup.
I really don't know what's going on. Three Intel laptops upgraded with no loss of data. One crappy APU laptop refused the update so installed via .iso upgrade/repair and even on that machine no data was lost. Security I use is Defender and I deactivate lifetime licence with Malwarebytes on all machines before the feature update. Makes you wonder that third party security apps are a problem.
When I right-clicked your link to open it in a new window, that's what I got:
For many consumer devices there isn't much choice.
I have a device with a 32GB MMC - I don't think there is a way I could partition that effectively.
And plenty of laptops are being sold with bigger 128 GB SSDs, and even there it's hard to partition in a way which doesn't waste space. Not that many consumers would know how to do it, in any case.
