Windows 10 update from Microsoft could delete your files, can brick PCs

Windows 10 fans need to be on alert about a recently released update which can cause user files to suddenly get deleted as well as bricking PCs. Windows 10 is the world's most used OS, with latest stats giving the Microsoft software a 51.57 per cent share of the marketplace. However, while Windows 10 is the most popular desktop OS in the world users are no strangers to receiving warnings about downloads from Microsoft.

Just recently Windows 10 users reported that a new update ended up having the knock-on effect of breaking the in-built Windows Defender malware protection.

And now there have been reports of issues with another Windows 10 update, this time the KB4549951 patch that was released on April 14.

The recently released Windows 10 download was meant to introduce a number of security fixes to the Microsoft OS.

But users have since reported some serious issues with the patch, namely files being deleted or moved around as well as the Blue Screen of Death appearing.
