Hate, absolutely hate Windows 10 updates

Fucking waste of space MS is with updates on Windows 10. I had a complete Windows failure when they pushed out 1709 (Falls Creator) and now this issue.

I didn't know MS released their newest craptastic update. I picked this morning to backup my plex server.

I started the backup process on the second hard drive. I see the backup will take 3-4 hours to complete (over 2TB of movies, takes a while to backup) and I see Windows 10 has a popup saying update to the next greatest thing, or pick a date to update or snooze.

I didn't want to update since I was backing up, so I picked "pick a date". I wasn't prompted with any date option to pick from. No popups/notifications came up. I didn't think anything else of it. I come back to the server a short while later and I see Windows at the "update in progress" screen.

Fucking-a.....I wait for it to finish. Usually once the computer restarts a couple of times it will reboot into Windows 10. It never restarted. I left the computer to sit for a few hours when I could get back to it. I powered it on and it comes to the Windows 10 repair screen. I check the drive through the command prompt and the drive is empty....fucking empty!

I try the backup drive - empty!

Fuckyou MS and your worthless fucking updates. I've got thousands and thousands of hours of video and pictures lost. I'll see if I can recover the backup drive, but I don't think that'll be possible since the backup I was running never finished. Over 2.5TB of DVDs and Blu-Rays and recorded TV shows and pictures (thankfully I have multiple other backups of pictures) are gone. I'm going to have to spend hundreds of hours to once again rip all my DVDs and Blu-Rays.

So, here's a big fucking-thank-you to MS and their broke ass fucking software.
