https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/9l128k/warning_1809_upgrade_misplaceddeleted_files_in/
Twenty-four hours ago I was debating switching my main photo editing machine back to Windows 10. "I'll just use it for ACDSee and Affinity Photo, just editing, Windows 10 really isn't that bad," I told myself. I decided to wait, have lunch, and think things through before I did anything. "Nah, I'll give Digikam an honest try for a few weeks to see what I think about it."
Then this morning... boom. Dear Microsoft, thanks for validating my decision to stick with Linux. When I heard about the new 1809 update a few days ago, my first thought was "What did they break this time?" Congrats, you went above and beyond all expectations. You fucktards. You just can't help yourselves. Every major update, you accomplish some sort of truly epic fuckup. You're so predictable.

All non issues for Win Server.
You can fix most garbage by disabling the task scheduler which does all the telemetry and update scheduling too.
>updates are somehow disabled
do them manually when you have time for them
>defragging your NTFS partitions every week
NTFS also doesn't have that problem, just like ext4 or 3
Modern OSs use disk fragmentation. They spread the files cleverly so you have less file fragmentation. You can also defrag your ext but just like defragmentating NTFS it's not actually needed
Task scheduler does that shit in background but you can also do it manually while you're doing something else that doesn't use the hard drive heavily.

* You can theme it without the risk of bricking it.
* You can run Windows shit through a VM with GPU passthrough or wine. Wine even supports DX 11 and I think 12 too
