February Win10 1903 and 1909 cumulative update, KB 4532693, causing desktops to disappear

Excellent overnight analysis from Lawrence Abrams and a surprising observation from Günter Born point at a possible smoking gun.

Microsoft should be paying you to beta test their buggy patches.

Details in Computerworld Woody on Windows.

If you installed this month’s patch (NOT recommended – see MS-DEFCON 2 above) or know someone who did and got bit by this specific bug, please let me know if they’re using Avira or AVG antivirus and, if possible, which version.
