The update -- a major revision to Windows 10 that includes tools like a
cloud clipboard and a preliminary version of its phone mirroring software
-- was reported to have resulted in mass file deletion from user
directories as well as less alarming issues like incorrect CPU usage in
Task Manager or broken audio drivers, ZDNet reported. One user on the
Microsoft support board claimed to have lost 220 gigabytes of files. As
CNET noted, some users reported that even using hard drive software would
not allow them to find more than a portion of the missing data.
