windows 10 pro users should always have defer upgrades enabled.

stuff like this is the reason why.

also it could be that it was trying to erase the recovery partition since windows 10 replaces the feature.

oh well i guess...?

why do you say it like that??
do you not care potential personal data is possibly being lost from this?

A significant bug in the installer for an update is enough for you to say that the rest of the entire Operating System is stuff?

These Windows 10 threads have been fantastic to help me pick out which users belong most on my "Shouldn't Breed; Contagious Stupidity" list. You've made the top. Congratulations.

The Anniversary Update itself is fantastic and I'm loving loving all the features. I too had some frustrations with the installation process, and while it sucks that people are losing personal data, this doesn't reflect at all on the actual OS. I'm reminded of the Myth II installer bug, where uninstalling Myth II could potentially wipe your entire OS due to an oversight, yet the game itself was just fine and enjoyed by many.

Don't make such stupid blanket statements in future.
