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.
I know people who were affected when a Windows 10 update just straight up deleted all personal files in 2020.

Oh?

Jesus, what a scam. Why does anyone put up with this?
Windows 11 only comes in 64 bit flavors so this would be a weird feature to leave in place.
I'm not using any software that doesn't have an upward swipe gesture for jumplists. How can people stand losing features like this?
I'm also gonna sarcastically cherry-pick!
Are you? I didn't see it. If you're trying to make the opposite point, why don't you cherry pick the other way. Let's see what you've got or if this headline is just bullshit.
I'm currently running 50/50 windows/Ubuntu. I'm no Windows fanboy. But I'm also a software dev and I understand deprecating useless shit, something Windows doesn't do much of.
IMO, the Windows Subsystems is kind of cool. WSL 1 used it too.

This was an issue that appeared when writing heavy files to disks (50gb+), so people that werent doing it were safe. And don't worry, its a matter of when LOL. I was a windows "virgin" until one day my system drive appeared encrypted and locked by bitlocker when I never activated it, nor had any recovery key.
