Last night when I was shutting down, I got the message &quotinstall update and shut down&quot. I chose that and this morning when I started Windows, I found that all of the data associated with my programs were missing and the start screen was as if I had just
installed Windows 8. The programs were there but no data. I chatted with a Microsoft support person who told me that Microsoft does not support OEM installed software. She suggested a system restore, which worked. But, what went wrong and can I trust
auto update any longer?
