February Win10 1903 and 1909 cumulative update, KB 4532693, causing desktops to disappear
Posted on February 13th, 2020 at 08:07 Comment on the AskWoody LoungeExcellent overnight analysis from Lawrence Abrams and a surprising observation from Günter Born point at a possible smoking gun.

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.
