Those who have not disabled auto updates might want to backup your Documents folder.

This occurs when there isn't enough space in C: drive.
No issue if your data/file is stored on another drive.

How much disk space is needed before this happens? 50G?

At least 30GB to be safe.

I normally won't rush into getting the latest updates for good reasons. Based on the past few Windows new release, there's always a bunch of bugs.

I was quite happy with 1709. In fact, I might be going back to it. Installed 1809 on 3 Oct via direct download. Noticed a bit of lag but no weird stuff like disappearing files.

1709 randomly locking fps to 30 (or 1/2 my monitor refresh rate) for most of its life before 1803 became a thing wasnt cool

I regret upgrading from Windows 7.

Fine on my side, my files are store in my hard drive not SSD.

I never heard of a modern Linux distro screwing up after an update. How does Microsoft a multi billion $ company not do a reliable update?
