It may be worse than I thought. it may be
just plain neglegence.
In my past writings on this subject, I've assumed
that the problem in the latest major update was caused by defects in the
insider program in identifying problems and the pressure of too frequent
updates. This comment in an article on the Kim Komando site raises the
very real possibility that its just plain carelessness and neglegence.
This may become a major story and may result in major changes in how Microsoft
handles updates.
And this problem is yet another reminder to back
up everything you don't want to lose. If you don't, sooner or later,
you'll lose a lot or all of your files because something is going to
happen.

But in the old days, Windows didn't get a full
upgrade every six months. Service packs were infrequent--perhaps two or
three or four years apart. Windows 7 only had one. Perhaps
Microsoft should look through its records of who had problems with Windows 10
upgrades through Windows 10's history. Perhaps they can identify certain
combinations of hardware and software that are prone to problems. They
then can actively attempt to recruit members of the Insider program who run
such combinations. It appears the Insider program is not working as
expected.

Windows
rollout problems have been with us since the last millennium. Remember
Windows 98, it crashed, right there, on stage with Bill Gates at the
helm.
This
just seems to be part of windows reality. It seems we must live with it
or leave it. There is a choice.

What is wrong with
the insider program that this problem wasn't known before the rollout?
Are there too few people in the program? Should there be more attention
to trying to get more users who use Windows in different ways and on more
varied equipment? Microsoft is developing a reputation for bad rollouts,
hardly helpful for the company achieving its goals of having people accept
"Windows as a service."
In an article I read
yesterday from a reliable source, it was stated that both this major upgrade
and the one before it had serious problems. I don't recall the details
now, but I recall reading about how the previous upgrade put some users
machines into infinite bootup loops. I don't recall what other problems
may have been in that upgrade. Again, what is wrong with the insider
program that this wasn't caught?

Yes Jonathan Mosen was
mentioning about it this very morning. Though he says
none of his machines
have had the issue. There was also so question marks
about third party
anti virusses maybe blocking the back up of files when
Windows tries to
move them as well.
So who is going to sue for lost data?
The
more I hear the more I'm glad I'm on windows 7, even if it won't read
dropbox dialogue boxes any more.
