I got a fun little Windows 10 message today:

YOUR FILES ARE WERE YOU LEFT THEM

I was expecting the next message to be something like "to access them, send $100 to PayPal account 12345"

And the computer did not respond to any keys. Fortunately, my wife had this happen to her last week and told me after a little while Windows 10 boots OK.

Thanks, MS, for scaring the crap out of me.

Yeah, my boss and I both got that after the Windows 10 upgrade.

We're like, "WTF? Why is it important that you tell us that? What did you do???"

Better than my options. I have a desktop that got infected with a virus somehow. During my efforts to get rid of it I did something and now the OS thinks it is a pirated copy. I eventually just gave up and bought Windows 8 to install and get rid of the virus. The installation program gives me the options of erasing all the applications I have installed, and erasing the entire filesystem. It won’t preserve my applications. That’s great for getting rid of the virus, but I also have legit copies of Visual Studio and SQL Server that I will lose, and are expensive.
