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

Why would IO speed be a factor in whether a user's data is corrupted? That just sounds like a race condition.
Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?
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.
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.
How's that vibe coding working out for ya?
Didn't they proudly say how much of windows is AI generated slop code a few months ago?
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 think it has more to do with the new atomic update and their now-usual not-testing aproach.
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!"
Your account seems to be marked as a bot, you can fix that in your user settings if it was unintentional

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.

Yet again, I trot out this phrase, as a response to yet another massive Windows fuckup/scandal:
... People are still using Windows?
Came here to say "Well, maybe they're corrupting your data."
I use "incontrol" to stop feature updates. And I used win11debloat. Havent had a problem since. In dogshit bloat, no dog shit copilot, no forced updates, no privacy destroying telemetry. Just me and MY windows machine like the old days.
Well yes, but actually this is a security update

Thank god i blocked windows updates and only allowed security updates for 23H2...
“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”
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.

They're using Grok to translate?
They probably used copilot to write the code. It compiled so they shipped it.

Is this an automatic update that I can stop ?
The company managed to resolve the issue later and has deployed a fix.
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.
