Windows 10 update breaks your computer

The details: As reported on BetaNews, some people say the two-week-old update has caused problems with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, along with reduced performance. Other users complained that settings are reset, files are sent to the trash, and some note that files disappear completely.

If you're affected: The update applies to two specific Windows 10 installations: 1903-OS Build 18362.778 and 1909-OS Build 18363.778. If you have one of these versions (run winver from the search box or a command prompt window to see) and haven't updated yet, you can turn off automatic updates until Microsoft issues a fix. You can also uninstall the update if needed.

Bottom line: This isn't the first problem with a Windows 10 update, and it likely won't be the last. Microsoft should issue an updated fix for the problem at some point, even if that means waiting until the next scheduled update release in May.
