I turned on my computer this morning to finish some work and my entire desktop was vanished by your updates!! I have been working on a case and had saved photos documents, articles to my desktop. A year and a half of work and the case deadline is near and you took all my saved to desktops!!!! How dare you!!! Where are they?? Hundreds and hundreds of hours lost. I don't even know what I had. Why did you take away the only way I know where to find everything I need. You totally messed with my work my income and my life.'How could you just mess with me. Done!!! Done done. I will use Apple from now on or Chrome.
