WHEN IS THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING TO FUCK THESE GUYS IN THE ASS? SERIOUSLY THIS IS NOT OKAY, LETALONE LEGAL.
>inb4 gnu/linux
i already have gnulag on a seperate computer, and am in the process of figuring out what im going to do for the rest of my work that requires windows programs. this is bullshit.

i can probably talk to the parent company about suing, but they will probably not care or not renew my contract because they wouldn't want to bitter their relationship with the almighty Microsoft

>windows 10 wanted to enforce "piracy prevention" on content i am licensed to own
wat
hows windows do this

Through the botnet of course.

they deleted my fucking files because i named the master files i had restored as the same name as the film it is from

you should try recovering the file faggot. And you just realized the power of proprietary software.

there is no way this actually happened. This would be a widespread problem if true.

All you're files will be right where you left them.

that's how they catch you? they just look for files like Groundhog Day.mp4?

>letting microsoft handle his backups
how did you even feel safe in the first place.
make a script that zips your files and sends it to your backup server.
if that's even possible on windows..
you need to move to another os user

no recovery software is giving me back the file. do you think one of those data recovery centres can help or am i still fucked?
literally what? the folder they were in is empty.
mmhmm. had it happen with torrents but i thoughr that was because it was movie.name.year.aac.divx.uploader or whatever the fuck the format is. but i never thought a filename as simple as the film name would set off their system.

i have to plug in my backup drives to get information off the windows computer

>script that zips your files and sends it to your backup server.
i dont do networking, so what's an easy way to do this without allowing windows access to rest of the server's content?

FAKE NEWS

since you send the files from windows, it has whatever it takes to modify the filesystem of the server so the only truly safe way is to maybe send the file to another computer that sends it to the server
or just don't use windows. wine has gotten perfect from my expiriance

You were just selected to be a beta tester for new AI algorithm, have a nice day.

This is what you get for using consumer versions of windows :^)

What is the title of the movie?

user, ever heard of RAID?

You deserve it for using Windows 10
really what were you thinking?

its called Non Disclosure Agreement

Nobody really cares to delete anime.

Elves are for lewd.

Gentoo doesn't have this problem. Install Gentoo!

Sounds like some kind of cuck porn

>pajeetware OS
wintoddlers btfo

I don't understand. Where the files in a folder on your computer?? Why would the suddenly become inaccessible?

That's complete bullshit.
I have the latest version of Windows and I'm seeding about 10TB of files and windows never deleted anything

user, you are arguing logically with someone who obviously has a mental illness.

Hide the thread and move on with your soon to be wonderful Jow Forums experience.

Op, I'm not a Windows fanboy, but, youre insane. What I would admit, that Windows Defender shit, its not fond of keygen.exe and shit, seen that (virrii free) vanish before my eyes, repeatedly. But Win10 does not randomly delete user files
>cough UPDATE cough
not deliberately, not 'this film not found in Stored View Subscription Currently Paid For list, will vaporise' kind of thing. But, it wouldnt surprise me much either

Then go larp somewhere else.

sir do you have the proper license to be redistributing these copyrighted statements that windows is removing copyrighted content from your computer?

do you also have the proper licenses to be using the copyrighted words "windows", "copyrighted", "content", and "computer"?

also this message is copyrighted and you have exactly 24 hours from receipt of this message to obtain the proper licenses to allow said message to exist on your computer or mobile device as well as for the content within. your viewing of this message constitutes your personal consent to these terms and as such you will be held fully liable for all damages incurred by the parties in ownership of any copyrighted content within, referenced by, similar to, or contained by this message

op is either some giant idiot with a shoddy storage device or he deleted the files himself in a drunken stupor.

or most likely a larping apple shill.

Truly elaborate shitpost from the disinfo fossturds this time.

how do you know recovery software won’t work? Have you tried testdisk? Also, the more you use the disk the less likely the file will be recovered.

This is what happens when your primitive OS doesn't even support LVM or you're too poor for RAID cards

what do you do when one of your 100 disks fails?

>howtogeek.com/fyi/microsoft-explains-why-windows-10s-october-2018-update-was-deleting-peoples-files/
Obviously not everyone is affected but still it was a big issue that they had to pull the update. Either way its OPs fault for not using windows 10 LTSC.

Disable Windows Defender. It happened to me once on a new PC while running the microsoft toolkit to activate MS Office.

just admit you accidentaly deleted them instead of blaming microsoft

nobody will believe you and you are gonna get fired anyways start looking for a new job

install windows 7

Fud, I hate Windows 10 but it doesn't do anything to prevent piracy. The worst it does is flagging shit that is known to be used by pirates as malware on Windows Defender, like keygens and activators.

based isac poster

Why do you hate your freedoms? Use an OS that doesn't trample on your freedoms such as Debian or Fedora GNU/Linux. Barring user or hardware faults, GNU/Linux will NEVER delete your files, it will never communicate with a 3rd party without your consent. Embrace freedom.

So what?
One mistake was made that inconvenienced you, but think of the thousands of lived being saved.
If anything you should be happy the system works.

windows 7 > windows 10 :(

That has nothing to do with copyright. Just tards who use the windows default folders getting fucked like they deserve.
I stopped using My Documents back when Windows XP fucked with my files

I had exactly the same thing happen except in my case I got drunk and accidentally erased them. I am going to sue microsoft

Thread made a few hours ago. No proof provided since. No clueless normie threads complaining about having the same issue. OP is too stupid to backup important data. I'm calling bullshit.

>Either way its OPs fault for not using windows 7
Fixed.

> using windows
there you go buddy

setup gnulag
vm wangblows

Is you're computer part of a business domain? Admins are retarded dicks and set policies to delete stuff on all connected drives.

>>traced it back and windows deleted them
How, exactly did you trace it back? Fucking linfags.
