As strange as it sounds, Microsoft will now have to release the Windows 10 October 2018 Update in the month of November. The update was initially rolled out on Oct. 4 during the Surface hardware event in New York City, but what followed was a fiasco as users started reporting that their documents were being deleted.
That wasn’t the end of it, though. Another bug was reported days after the Windows 10 October 2018 Update was pulled, and this time it involved .ZIP files. According to the complaints, the overwrite consent prompt was no longer being displayed when copying from a .ZIP file and Microsoft would later confirm that this error could lead to unintentional data loss.
“With the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, if you copy or move files from a .ZIP file (without first ‘extracting’ the contents) into a new destination folder that contains duplicate filenames or is write-protected, you don’t get a ‘Do you want to replace these files’ prompt. It will appear that the files were overwritten, when in fact the copy action for those files is not executed and files have not been overwritten,” a Microsoft representative explained in a post.
The good news is that Microsoft has provided a workaround for this bug. Actually, it is quite simple. Just refrain from cutting/pasting items from a .ZIP file. Instead, users are advised to fully extract the contents of a .ZIP file first before they are moved to another folder.
In any case, it’s clear that Microsoft doesn’t want to risk rolling out the Windows 10 October 2018 Update until they are sure there are no more bugs. Right now, users should be glad to know that they are taking their time in coming up with a fix because nobody wants to encounter these issues whenever they turn on their computers.
