windows 10/11 automatically deleting files and links

on the deletes

did have issue with last win 11 update, would not allow inbound TCP/IP from gaming sites ie Steam

had to undo the updates and turn them off

98 here brah .....

What a joke, the bloatware that is Windows and the O/S starts deleting users files.

Gigabytes can be removed from the O/S of unnecessary languages useless apps driver files, log files, event logs, anti virus signature files, installer files, service pack files, the list is endless.

Still when you do an SFC (system File Check) and the O?S detects a corrupt file, it sometimes fails t replace the bad file.

Even a monthly update can be gigabytes in size and the save an undo copy.

Microsoft Windows is clearly spaghetti code that is totally out of control

This sounds like the current state of big tech. iOS will try to suggest unused apps and such to delete, but at least it doesn’t do it automatically. Google Drive has been said to delete files without prompting, particularly controversial videos and such.

Eventually, I want to run a home-based cloud and my own media server. I started playing around with Nextcloud but had trouble finding instructions for my version of CentOS. But I’m also a webserver newbie, so maybe it’s just dumbness on my part. Like I just need to know the proper syntax for commands or something.

(As for k e y gen files triggering antivirus, sometimes that’s just because of how those files work, they can look malicious but (usually) aren’t. But I assume most who have those kinds of files would know that and know the potential risks.)

I have windows XP. A couple mos. ago Microsoft did one of these middle of the nite updates which left my pc unable to connect to internet. I had to take it into shop which cost me $75.00 to straighten out. Microsoft shitheads...

That was interesting

Learn how to Configure your OS, if you can't just go get an Apple and use iOS!

It’s hard to believe people on glp even use /support that scumbag. Long gone are the old days of free thinking and above average IQ here.

As if im gonna trust that program

Hope you don't keep any sensitive information on those operating systems , huge security holes in them.

Nice!

Thanks for that!

Ubisoft only allows Win10\11 through their game launcher. No longer supporting older Windows versions.

An external hard drive dedicated to back up all your imporant stuff on a weekly/ monthly basis works really well when having to deal with 10/11. A thumbdrive for smaller stuff

Storage Sense.
Turn it off.

Had a directory full of GLP type stuff - the title of the directory was :called : Electronic torture, Electromagnetic torture, Microwave torture, Electronic murder, Electromagnetic murder, Microwave murder, Organized murder, Cooked alive, Electronic mind control, Brain zapping_files. had hundreds of files in there.

5 or so years ago it was empty except for 1 file called pixel.gif
This is on Windows 7.

It has to be intentional.

Everyone loves the Windows 7 user interface.
XP is a close second.
Microsoft insists on coping apple OS.

Microsoft keeps trying to remove the start menu and the control panel but the users base won't let them.

Microsoft ignores the buggy uninstall for 25 years.

If only IBM would push RedHat with developers and OEMs
We could be forever done with Microsoft.

Shouldnt be hard finding files when the drive gets mirroroed.

I figured it out a little while ago, I had to open special tab not in the windows update spot yet it was called troubleshoot windows update, go figure... it like redownloaded the windows 11 file and then I restarted, and it installed properly.

yes. it sucks. mainly because they keep breaking things more than fixing in their updates lately. That being said, from my understanding and experience, all you have to do is make sure "storage sense" is turned off in settings. that's it. no problem. it's literally just a switch you can turn off. so. not sure why OP is freakin out but okay. fair enough. calm down. they haven't gone full 1984 yet lol. yet.

when we get to this stage, then it's time to worry lol

win7 with a nice firewall to monitor/block control whatever uses your internet from your win7 OS and your programs.

Maybe you should grow up and stop playing crappy kid's computer games, then.

Retro gaming for nostalgia reasons excepted, of course. Though I suppose at your age, you probably think PS3 games are old school 'LOLZ.'

Got XP Pro on two of my puters, Windows 7 Pro on my laptop.
I can fix any blue screen on XP. Win7 is stable.

I have no reason to change.



Fuck windows 10/11

Dumb thread and a stupid OP.

Keygens are being quarantined in windows defender, the pdfs are most likely infected also.

Dumb as fk

Probably Windows Embedded, not Windows XP, look similar, but Embedded is aimed at industrial and small scale devices.
