I have never manually managed this.

Nor have I.

I had a ton of false positive hits today from webroot.

That's what I've heard from a few other people.

Check for the Print Driver.

I had a printer do this years ago (Windows 2000) I aptly named it my Government driver as everything was blacked out. All the text on the Windows Printer Test pages appeared to have been Redacted.

We've tried three different printers and printing to the Windows 10 PDF Print Driver - all have the same results.

It's not all PDFs either, maybe a third of them.

Is it 1/3 if you print the same document 3 times, or does a document that gets 'redaction lines' always get them?

There you go, that's how VSS is supposed to work. Get one taken right before patching and another right after. Then you have lots of options.

@JaredBusch So how the [self-moderated] do certain, previously named, companies make things that require very specific not-quite-upgraded versions of certain components of .net? I mean, they target specific versions of files that are a part of .net. When I go bald, at least I'll know why!

Because they do not want to spend the money to recompile for newer versions in order to maintain a stupid high level of compatibility with people using old shit.

You think they're actually bothering to use the tool you posted? Nope. They're checking the filenames on the system. I forget exactly which files they do this for, but it's super annoying because it didn't match with the latest updates or original version last time I had to install the P.O.S.

I solved this by removing all but one profile on the machine, then running
sysprep /oobe /generalize /reboot

Then during the mini setup I joined to Azure AD.

that breaking of webcams is going to keep me from rolling it out for a while on most machines.

@Breffni-Potter said in Windows 10 Anniversary Edition May Delete Partitions!:

Apple trash Windows and Linux installs on OSx frequently,

I have high-lighted the bit you quoted in bold. How is this a problem exclusive to Windows if OSX can and has broken installs as well?

Also I'm sure Linux installs can break the Windows partition as well, through carelessness or a bad bit of software installed, you can break that storage. We don't know how or why this happened exactly with Windows 10 but I'm willing to bet some kind of cleanup script was run at the end of the install which for reasons unknown, decided to terminate this partition. We don't know why but it's rubbish to say Windows is the only OS in history to have done this in the specific scenario of having more than 1 OS installed on the same storage.

@scottalanmiller said

That the most common use case that Windows fails during is caused by dual booting intention doesn't change the fact that the issue is not exclusive to dual booting scenarios.

Where are they saying that on the article though?

Where did I say that Windows was the only OS in history to misbehave and kill storage? And I don't see how OSX being less than ready for prime time (something very evident to me from having tried to use it) excuses Windows from being stable?

I understand, Linux is great and everything else is crap. Linux definitely tends to take data integrity much more seriously than Windows. But why does this need to be about who is better or worse? This is about Windows having a data integrity issue right now that people need to look out for and be aware of and they should not be mislead to think that it is anything except a Windows data integrity issue - it is not reliably handling its own partition table.
